The Victorian mansion is the property of choice when it comes to the horror genre. It was the cozy home of America\u2019s preeminent weirdos, <strong>the Addams\u2019 family<\/strong>. It\u2019s where <strong><em>Psycho<\/em><\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0Norman Bates hid his dark, motherly secrets. And you can\u2019t throw a rock at a collection of gothic pulp novels without hitting a piece of cover art featuring a big, ole menacing Victorian estate.<\/p>\n<p>So, how did the Victorian mansion become a symbol of death and an icon of the horror genre? You\u2019d be forgiven for assuming it all boiled down to innate ooky spookiness. But, like many of the great cinematic nightmares, the basis of this macabre manor\u2019s ghastly reputation has a historical precedent.
