A friend on another social networking site who knows I play the lotto, asked a simple question.

If I won both jackpots, what kind of house would I build?

The answer is easy.

1) Gothic Victorian or Tudor style house that would look perfect in "the Munsters," "the Adams Family," or any classic horror movie.
2) Four Floors and an attic and basement (6 levels) with the main floor built back into a hill.
3) Each floor and basement having a total of 3200 square feet.
4) Reinforced concrete construction with Victorian style brick and stone on the outside surfaces.
5) Gourmet kitchen, walk in fridge and freezer units, large pantry.
6) Bedrooms of at least 700 square feet.
7) Each bedroom with an en suite.

Those are the basics.
Now for the "personal" touches.

1) Added to the back of the main floor, the section backed up in a hill, a large wrought iron reinforced heavy wood door, that when opened a large animatronic dragon roars and snorts flame.
2) A slide from the attic to the main floor, hidden of course.
3) Secret passages and rooms.
4) sensors along the stairs and hall ways that activate the sound of footsteps behind you as you walk. (used only for guests)
5) Main section of the basement decorated like your typical evil scientist.
6) Attic decorated in such a way as to suggest it was used as a prison....

Landscaping

Have "spooky" mature trees brought in and planted.
A Mausoleum style structure as the pool house.
A grotto for the pool that looks remarkably like a crypt.
Fog generators along the walk ways to set the mood for night time walks.

Remember, money would be no object.

You are just trying to lure me to your liar...

Shouldn't that be under the entry stairwell?




LafayetteLady -> RE: I am certifiably evil (2/10/2014 5:04:55 PM)

I would then move to Texas just for that kitchen!

The stairwell would have to be very wide. You see I am considering an animatronic dragon head at least 12 foot wide and 15 to twenty feet long. I plan for the flooring immediately in front of the door to be easily cleaned since the desired effect would be to scare the living shit out of people.

After research, I have also decided to add projectors in order to provide the house with residents of a non-physical nature.

Now if a genetics lab could produce a six foot tall talking bipedal rabbit....

Just a matter of time (talking might cost substantially more).

Just to give Jeff some ideas (cause I am helpful like this). Chandeliers that hang from nothing but handcuffs/shackles and stand lamps made out of femur bones with some hide for lampshades.

I was thinking of hiring Loved to Death in SF, and Obscura in NYC to find the furnishings for the house.




DesFIP -> RE: I am certifiably evil (2/10/2014 7:39:55 PM)

Four floors? I'd add an elevator.

My dream house is a ranch. Not even a basement. No more steps.




LafayetteLady -> RE: I am certifiably evil (2/10/2014 8:58:51 PM)

I hope with a house like that, every october you would turn it into a halloween attraction. The possibilities are endless.




ShaharThorne -> RE: I am certifiably evil (2/11/2014 1:09:44 AM)

It reminds me of Lord British's haunted houses down in Austin...he is a game developer (Wing Commander).




AthenaSurrenders -> RE: I am certifiably evil (2/11/2014 1:27:11 AM)

That sounds really fun.

I realise this is your personal lair, but it would make an awesome theme hotel. Especially if the lab in the basement was a bar.

Also you need to make sure at least one of your secret rooms has a revolving bookcase entrance, so you can spin it round and make people disappear a la scooby doo.

As Larry Nightingale said in the classic episode Doctor Who episode 'Blink', "You live in Scooby-Doo's house."




LafayetteLady -> RE: I am certifiably evil (2/11/2014 3:29:33 AM)

The bookcase thing doesn't remind me of Scooby Doo. It reminds me of "Young Frankenstien.,

"Put...the...candle...back!"




ShaharThorne -> RE: I am certifiably evil (2/11/2014 5:31:32 AM)

A la Addams Family...GREED....
