Haunted Houses

In this list of memorable movie moments, there are card counts, lush robberies and poker games with the highest bets you can imagine.

Here we relive some of the best scenes about big bets seen on the screen.

Legend has it that there are haunted places around the planet. Damn houses that hide tragic stories, murders, suicides, which took place years ago. Although they are rumors, many people confirm that they have seen ghosts wandering the halls of these homes or have heard screams from people who lived in them in the past. Dare to consult the list of the most haunted houses in the world:

  1. The home of Amityville.Located at 112 Ocean Avenue, in Amityville, New York, the early morning of November 15, 1974, the eldest son of the DeFeo family, only 17 years old, murdered his parents and siblings with a rifle. People say that this house inhabits evil spirits that make tragedies happen.
  2. The Tower of London.It is over 900 years old, and it is told that there is the ghost of Anna Bolena, who was locked in it and beheaded later.
  3. Loftus Hall.It has a long and fascinating ghost story. Legend has it that a stranger arrived on his horse in the mid-18th century and asked for shelter for the night, and the family that lived here agreed. At night, while the family played a card game, one of the women in the house bent down to pick up a letter and saw that the stranger had a horse’s foot. He then disappeared, leaving a hole in the ceiling that is said to exist still.
  4. The Whaley House.It claims to be the most haunted house in the United States and has been a museum since 1960. Since then, visitors have reported seeing the ghosts of a man who was hanged long ago, as well as the owner of the house, wandering the halls.
  5. Ñuñoa House.Testimonials from people claim to have seen mysterious silhouettes, heard crunches and noises. Also, its gloomy and poorly maintained appearance, the broken glass in the windows, and the gray tone of the walls accentuate the suspicion of these versions.
  6. Atherton Mansion.Goni Atherton’s Dominga inherited a juicy fortune when her husband died in 1881, so she decided to build this mansion in downtown San Francisco. The widow lived with her son George and Gertrude, his wife. Allegedly, for years, George was tormented by his mother and wife, but years later, he got his revenge. According to legend, he returned from the dead to torment his mother and wife at night. And still, today, they say it continues to scare guests.
  7. The Crenshaw House.Often, it is known as the “Old House of Slaves.” This house was the residence of John Crenshaw, landowner, and owner of a salt mine, who committed terrible acts of cruelty inside and outside its walls. He kidnapped men, women, and children to work in his factory and kept them on the third floor of the house in small cells. Years later, new homeowners claimed to have experienced paranormal activity.
  8. Beauregard House.It was the home of General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard, a vital general of the Confederate army in the Civil War. After his death in 1893, the house was silent for many years. It was the scene of a shooting related to the mafia, which left three dead. After that, intense paranormal activity was recorded.
  9. The Myrtles Hacienda.The Hacienda was built in 1796 and over time, has been home to several illustrious owners in life and, it seems, also their spirits. There are several legends that refer to the existence of at least 12 ghosts on this farm.

Horror Movies

Cold sweats, nervous laughs, stiff muscles, stifled screams – or not – and, if all goes well, some night when it is particularly difficult to fall asleep. These are some of the effects that horror movies have on our bodies and minds and that, you know why we love experiencing fear in a movie theater. With the premiere of ‘We’, Jordan Peele’s second film, the debate has reopened on whether or not we are facing a film that should become part of the best pieces that the genre has given us throughout the history. While you position yourself in this regard, I invite you to review on this list what I consider to be the best horror movies of all time:

The Exorcist ( 1973 )

Leaving aside the eternal debate about whether or not it is the best horror movie in history if we can say that, without a doubt, it is one of the most frightening. It doesn’t matter how many years go by, this wonder signed by William Friedkin continues to be as chilling as the first day thanks to his impolite direction, creepy sound design, and, of course, an immense early Linda Blair in his role as Regan McNeal. An authentic landmark surrounded by a strange, profane halo that suffocates all kinds of spectators equally regardless of their beliefs.

The Shining ( 1980 )

That undisputed genius named Stanley Kubrick dominated each and every genre he addressed throughout his career. It is not surprising given his exceptional talent that his incursion into terror resulted in a masterpiece such as ‘The Shining’. A technical, formal, and conceptual feat that immerses you in the impossible corridors and rooms of the Overlook hotel while inviting you to lose your head next to the crazy Jack Torrance in a nightmare of the highest level.

Halloween ( 1978 )

Rolling in about 20 days and with limited resources, they had to collect reuse until the leaves that appeared on the floor of the street between plane, the teacher John Howard Carpenter revolutionized the terror by sitting chair and marking a before and a later in the subgenre of slasher with this classic. A ghostly look at the purest evil, embodied in a gigantic Michael Myers clinging to the popular imaginary for forty years.

The Thing ( 1982 )

Although my favorite work of John Carpenter is the great ‘In the mouth of fear’, I must admit that the master of horror hit the ceiling in 1982 with this remake of ‘The Enigma of Another World’. Which was directed by his idolized Howard Hawks in 1951 With ‘The thing’, the author refined to his peak his seal, unleashing terror in the middle of Antarctica in a terrifying exercise. With visual effects still fascinating today and with a representation of evil that, again, transcends The limits of the human.

Scary Games

Yes, we all know that the useful life of a PC when it comes to moving games with ease is more limited than for performing other tasks, due to the higher hardware requirements demanded by this type of applications. To continue enjoying the latest games on the market, we will have to update our equipment in the short or medium-term or acquire a new one, with all that entails.

With this in mind, it is not strange to say that many users have been forced, at one time or another, to stretch or extend the life of our equipment. A fact that, as we anticipate, is not limiting for specific tasks, such as office automation, multimedia, and navigation web, but for those who like to play. In this sense, and it happens to satisfy our desires to enjoy excellent gaming experience in our old team, it is advisable to resort to PC games with few requirements that can still give a lot of themselves and make us have a good time. We are aware that this is a popular event, and since we are in summer, we have considered that it would be a good idea to offer you this unique article divided into two parts, where we collect ten great PC games with quite low requirements.

We have started from a point that we consider right, and that marks the limit between what we can consider “retro”, that is, games that run on virtually any PC, and those that are somewhat more current and are a bit more demanding.

    • Resident Evil 4

For many, the best delivery of the well-known saga of Capcom, for others, the last Resident Evil “really”, although there is a general consensus on the high quality and playability of this title. In fact, its graphics and playable condition is still perfect today, especially when installing the official patch that Ubisoft launched, but its requirements are minimal, so it deserves for obvious reasons to be on this list.

  • Guild Wars
    An online role-playing game that was presented at the time as one of the great rivals of World of Warcraft, and that today has a second installment that, unfortunately, is not well optimized and offers a gaming experience more than criticizable. Despite the years, Guild Wars is still a highly recommended game, with a fantastic PVP, dungeons, and a great variety at all levels. If you did not have the opportunity to enjoy it at the time, you should give it a try, since it still has enough life. Below we list the requirements to enjoy the base game and its expansion Factions.
  • DOOM 3
    One of the best first-person action games ever, but also one of the most controversial. Yes, DOOM 3 is a game that sins of “pasillero”, but it compensates with exceptional graphic quality, a caring atmosphere, and excellent gameplay. At the time it marked a before and after in the sector, becoming one of the most demanding games and an apparent reference for performance tests, today it remains a terrifying experience that, without a doubt, is recommended.
  • Half-Life 2
    Another of the best first-person action games in history, a title that deserves its high graphic quality, its elaborate history, and the individual attention that Valve put in maintaining low requirements. Like DOOM 3, this Valve jewel marked a before and after in the sector, although it did it “in its own way”, with more open scenarios and a different approach to the id Software game. Thanks to the excellent work of Valve, the game runs on almost any team, since its requirements are quite modest. It is important to note that the game had compatibility with DirectX 7, but the gaming experience is inferior, so we do not recommend running it under that API.
  • Warcraft III
    One of the magnificent jewels of the strategy in real-time, and pillar of the mod on which games as popular today as League of Legends would be born. It is evident that at a visual level, this jewel of Blizzard begins to afflict the inexorable passage of time, but it keeps intact its play-ability and addiction. Without a doubt, a game that will guarantee us hours and hours of fun, thanks to its elaborate history, the variety of its missions, and a challenging approach with a well-worked learning curve.
