House on the Rock kicks ass. I love it there <3

[muhamadrisyad]

[jeszczepolska11]

The House on the Rock is awesome.

[xKalphax]

the place is amazing but really it creeped me out

[GiantPetRat]

Oh man, that first one, and the third, scared the HECK out of me when I was a kid. I didn't go away from that place with too many things creeping me out, but oh boy did this.

[Diskjocky67]

went here while i was a toddler and still have nightmares

[mysterie]

no. you honestly wouldnt know if you didnt work there. its incredibly evil.

[mysterie]

i work there. it really IS a tourist trap. take it from somebody who knows the place very well.

also, alex jordan was a racist bigot who hated christmas and religion.

but most of all.....HE WAS A CON MAN you have no idea how ill minded that place is.

people come to look at bells and whistles, so the new owners (art and karen donaldson)

can spend your hard earned money on the resorts and inns they own.....where they take even more of your money. :]

[Desco9111]

@mysterie If that's your definition of "tourist trap" than every museum, theme park, and any other attraction someone might go to see is a "tourist trap".

[dethklokicksbutt]

It was so cool being there but it was also creepier than hell itself

[Vitaminbach]

The music is Danse macabre, Op. 40 1872 by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. Also used in the tv series Jonathan Creek!

[Wurlitzer157]

Do they even play the actual instruments?

[vespertinne]

HOTR is worth DOUBLE THE PRICE to get in! This is THE most breathtaking and incredible collections of COLLECTIONS amassed in one place that your sorry mortal ass is ever likely to see in an entire short life. Think THIS is a trap? Go spend the same amount to see the Winchester House. <--So not worth it. HOTR MUST be preserved forever. Join all the other amusement hacks who take everything for granted and have your fun at the f'ing tractor pulls. You dork.

私はこういうの好きですよー音楽が不気味すぎていい

[lost88soul]

someone should make a horror movie here =)

[IrProspect]

I've been here and went through the entire thing. The entire building spans over two miles and is probably the coolest place i've ever been.

[tbylovers]

I remember these!!

[poologs]

Someone has been reading Neil Gaiman.

[shaneho78]

I came here right after reading chapter 5

[tonebarista]

I believe they are called "automatons". House On The Rock is the 8th wonder of the world!

[sarcasticasian]

creepy

[daiseemeadow]

I was just here last Sunday!!

I was speechless!!

I have uploaded a video of the carousel

and the mechanical box if ya like to check out!

Great Video btw =]

[timburtonfan98]

huh. I wenty there recently and I don't remember the second one.

[haxanthrobo]

great clips thanks!

[adametokillfor]

OMFG THE DYING DRUNKARD. D= (That's the name of the first one.) It scared the hell out of me when I was little!

[JonasBrothersR4life]

I just went there today with my family and I LOVE the HUGE WHALE :) HOUSE on the ROCK is AMAZING!!!

[SallyImpossible]

I have been to House on the Rock a few times. One thing I'm sad about is that the place has been "sanitized" since the mid-late 90s. (I assume once the builder's family sold it, the new owners decided to make it more "family friendly"). If you were there earlier you know what I'm talking about - the place just isn't as creepy as it used to be.

[bugg16]

i have gone 7 times and every year they add more and more things..you cant get sick of this place..its amazing

[FreeMyselfAndFly]

I'm probably going here this summer, but I've received really mixed reviews so far.Some people think it's a tacky tourist trap, while others say it's one of the coolest places ever. What's your opinions?

[poby]

TOURIST TRAP?!

No sir this is the absolute most astonishing collection of... EVERYTHING. You walk through it, passing LITTERALLY millions of equally interesting objects, most extremely rare and unique, on a 6 hour self guided tour through fantasyland.

[towertooth456]

The one band thing that was like underwater themed where all the fish played music was great!!!

[towertooth456]

I loved that place......especially the old pipe organs....they were sooo loud but soooo cool...

[fatalframe95]

The doll wing was one of my favorite LOL

[rachelthefirst]

[shizlnit]

seriously it sucks ass :)

[DarkPrincess1367]

House on the Rock is one of the most amazing places I have ever been, HIGHLY Recomend it to EVERYONE....House Location...Spring Green, Wisconsin

[showmesome]

Just for the record here are the songs that are on here-----I don't here any Mikado, but I sure am curious if anyone knows what the 4th song is.

Here are the others:

1. Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens

2. Tennessee Waltz by Redd Stewart and Pee Wee King

3. Ritual Fire Dance by La Falla

4. ? Indian—definitely not Japanese or Puccini.

[Anything1226]

I LOVe going to the house on the rock! The music sounds hounting and yet satisfieing!

[grumpybb]

I absolutely love being able to hear the Mikado playing in the background!

[expo66]

A great reminder of one of the wildest attractions on earth. Oddly touching, these music boxes will haunt your dreams as they have been doing for 140 years! Will someone post the mannequin orchestra? GREAT WORK THX and thanks!!!

[vampgirl747]

I forgot to teke videos of everything last weekend when I went on my yearly trip, but did you notice in the mannequin orchestra there are famous people. Lincoln, one of the Marx bros. and Nixon are some of them !

[slvgdvg]

this is just tripped out.

[Feuerbach1]

I agree anybody that has even a slight fascination with old tyme things NEEDS to go there. Just the vibe throughout most of that place, sort of vague creepiness...incredible and inimitable

[arlichar11]

@Feuerbach1 i agree id like to be there alone....it would be even more creepy and fascinating... the crowds is what keeps u in reality its a tour,,,lol

[haleychamberlain]

Rad. Thanks for putting these up - House On the Rock was one of the coolest places I've been!
