Crooked House
"Crooked House" (2008) is a British made for TV miniseries that was shown in three episodes. It is a trio of ghost stories centered around the same cursed house called Geap Manor, starring Lee Ingleby, Mark Gatiss and Derren Brown.
The first story is called "The Wainscoting" about an 18th century greedy rich man who makes a fortune on the backs of the local working folk and has purchased, renovated and moved into Geap Manor, the local "haunted house". He soon gets more than he bargained for when the house's walls start to haunt him.
"Something Old" is the second story that takes place in Geap Manor in the 1920s. A lavish costume party is taking place and the owner's grandson announces his engagement to a local woman. The grandmother is not pleased because there is some secret from her past that is haunting the halls of the house and will soon affect her grandson.
"The Knocker" is the final story which takes place in the present with Ben, the main character who found Geap Manor's door knocker in his suburban home that sits on the site of the old Manor. In addition to finding out more about Geap Manor, he discovers a doorway into the past where he sees what created the evil that continues to surround the house and the land it sits upon.
You can find these all together as one movie and it is a fantastic series of haunted house and ghost stories to keep you more than sufficiently scared!
