    1. Hi Aaron,

      That's a brilliant guess, but not correct!

    Hi John,

    #7 Logan's Run (tv series)

    I see the Psycho house on #2 and #5, but I am looking forward to seeing what it was reused in because I can not recall.

    1. Hi SGB:

      Job well done, my friend. #7 is indeed from Logan's Run ("Night Visitors.") You're right too -- that's the Psycho house, but re-purposed for cult tv!

  6. #4 is Collinswood I believe (Dark Shadows)
    #7 must be Logan's Run...? I don't recall enough episodes from 35 years ago to remember the plot.

    1. Carl,

      Those are excellent identifications, but alas, none are on the mark. You are still awesome, however! :)

    1. Hi Pierre,

      Yes! Great job! That's the Psycho house redressed for Rod Serling's Night Gallery. Great!

  11. Hi John,

    A bit late to this party, but I can't leave #9 unclaimed, given it is none other than 1910 Ezekiel Drive, Frank Black's very own yellow house—albeit lying (almost) vacant here in "The Curse of Frank Black", just before Frank gave the windows an eggy makeover?!

    Also—and I'm a little less certain of this one—but is #10 from The X-Files's "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas"?

  12. Y'all forgive me for this, I can't help myself.

    Brian is right. number 4 is the familial mansion on Dark Shadows. But, its correct spelling is Collinwood. The family name is Collins, and they live in Collinsport, but they left the "s" out of the name of their home. I'm not sure why.

    In the Paperback Library novels by Marilyn Ross, and in the original writer's guidelines by Art Wallace, titled Shadows on the Wall, it's referred to as Collins House. Collins House may have been mentionesin a few of the earliest episodes, but they finally settled on Collinwood.
