The House 1 & 2: Halloween's Website to See

Link: http://sinthaistudio.com/thehouse/

This happens to be one of my favorite site to visit whenever Halloween’s just around the corner.
 
“The House” was originally made way back in 2005 and in 2010, the same developer created "The House 2" is some sort of a flash game wherein you have to click on certain items to walk through the house. Once inside, you will be shown on different rooms. Each rooms holds a certain story for you to know and images of... Um... Things... As per the site, "THE HOUSE"was built in 1970 and was deserted some time after that but no one has entered the house since the entire family committed suicide due to reasons unknown.
 
As I was saying, the site was primarily made to scare people. It was like a small horror movie but with user interaction. Personally,I would rate the site a 10 for the coolness of the flash animations. The story is really simple and I'll leave it for you guys to find out. In order to move from one room to another, keep hovering the mouse pointer over various things until the cursor changes from normal cursor to link cursor. Click on the image as long as it is clickable. In short, click on anything that can be clicked! Point-and-click your way through the house to unfold the mystery of what really happened to that fateful fictitious family.
 
Best viewed alone, late at night, in the dark, and with the sound turned up.
 
Click on the link and experience the thrill I had as I went through the site.It's kinda scary for me with all the sound effects added to the eeriness of the site. Check it out and let me know what you think about it!
