This is the article for the trope Haunted Castle. For the Castlevania game of the same name, click here. On a foggy mountain peak in forsaken mountain chain or a haunted forest wilderland looms the Haunted Castle. Its masonry is crumbling, the iron gates are red with rust and the lonely towers, winding stone corridors and deep dungeons have witnessed so much treachery and evil that, even if long abandonded, evil spirits and creatures still lurk within its walls. Many such castles however remain fully in use by their dread inhabitants, be they some sort of vampire, Frankenstein's Monster, a Mad Scientist, the Wolf Man, a Wicked Witch, or even Bugs Bunny. Or maybe all of them at once. The protagonist will be driven to the castle by a thunderstorm, or by running out of gas, or by his own curiosity. In the valley below, the Ruritanian villagers will have warned the hero against spending the night in the castle, but he presses on into the night. His beautiful bride will question his decision, but will reluctantly accompany him. Once the couple have arrived at the castle, the count, Mad Scientist or monster will take a liking for the bride. Perhaps she resembles some long-lost love of the monster, or he desires her for some devious experiment. It will also typically be Always Night, with the sun never rising until the evil is vanquished. Expect Dramatic Thunder and Spooky Animal Sounds in the background, Grave Clouds with a Chance of Rain, Ominous Fog, Cobweb of Disuse, Falling Chandelier of Doom, and your typical Dark and Stormy Night. In a North American setting, instead of a haunted castle, the Haunted House will be the monster's home or old mansion, since actual castles are in short supply in the United States and Canada. They are plentiful in Ãœberwald. |

Devil May Cry mostly takes place inside the ancient castle of Mallet Island (a.k.a. Mundus's castle). Dante's not spooked easily, but the place is filled with eerie contraptions and horrific demons. The backstory and lore indicate that it used to have proper occupants as well, but now it's taken over by evil spirits. | |

Bloodborne: Cainhurst Castle is a creepy frozen castle in the snowy mountains. It's infested with ghosts and crazed servants and lorded over by the long-dead Logarius, a scythe-wielding skeleton. You even get there by way of a black carriage without a driver after finding an invitation — addressed specifically to your player character — on a dead body in the local clinic. | |

Les Voyageurs Sans Souci: Subverted. When Sébastien and Agathe are dragged to an abandoned castle, they spot a sign on the gate which reads: "No trespassing. Warning: Haunted castle". Later, both children find out the castle is not haunted at all. The former owner believed in ghosts and was convinced that they were responsible for the noises in the garret, no matter how many times her grandson assured a flock of owls were causing the noise. | |

I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream: The scenario that AM sets up for Ted. It has everything: banners portraying Ellen as a princess and Ted as her Knight in Shining Armor, a British maid who'd like nothing more than a night with him, the surrounding forest is dark and infested with wolves, and the witch who owns the castle is into dark arts and has a secret room with a pentagram for summoning demons. Ted himself doesn't think too highly of the place, though.: | |

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Castle is indeed haunted by several ghosts, but most are perfectly nice (well, except Peeves, but he's a pest rather than an actual threat, and not even really a ghost but a poltergeist; the Bloody Baron is pretty terrifying but harmless), and the castle is, of course, also a school. Most of the ghosts just hang around and give advice when asked, but one of them is actually teaching classes, and no-one's sure if he's even noticed he died. | |

Discworld: Played with in Carpe Jugulum, where the ancestral Uberwaldean home of the Magpyrs is actually called Dontgonearthe Castle, and the Old Count would advertise it as if it were a tourist trap using Reverse Psychology ("Last Chance to Not Go Near The Castle"). It worked terrifically; people would come in for miles just so that they could Notgonearthe castle. And when, every few decades, the vampire there rose again (and was quickly quelled, of course), it just added to the interest... and the local economy. It helps even more that there's something with the roads that causes all traveling coaches to break a wheel as they near it. | |

World of Warcraft: The original game/Classic has Shadowfang Keep, which is filled with ghosts and worgen; Scholomance, a castle that the Cult of the Damned turned into a necromancy school, filled with undead creatures of the Scourge; Naxxramas, a Nerubian citadel the Scourge turned into a hovering fortress filled with undead creatures and with the spirits of the living that they tortured and meshed into flesh golems screaming in pain in the afterlife. The expansion The Burning Crusade adds Karazhan, the abandoned tower of Medivh, which is filled with ghosts and arcane magic creatures. The spirit of Death Knight Teron Gorefiend also haunts the Black Temple citadel. Wrath of the Lich King: Icecrown Citadel can be considered as one too, although it's been built by the undead at the middle of a Mordor-like land in the first place. |

Hurog: Hurog castle is this. However, what most people think is the ghost is actually more something like a Genius Loci, and is not there out of his own free will, he was magically bound to the castle, to make it Powered by a Forsaken Child. Despite all this, Oreg is quite friendly to the inhabitants, that is, unless they slap the mute daughter of the family. It is never mentioned what he did to the person who did that, but it is mentioned that she never visited again. | |

Dragon Age: Origins: Soldier's Peak, the former headquarters of the Grey Warden Order in Ferelden as seen in the Warden's Keep DLC expansion, is an abandoned fortress inhabited by roaming undead, demons, ghosts and a centuries-old blood mage, trying desperately to hold back a demonic invasion from the Fade. The Adamant Fortress mentioned in Asunder, a Grey Warden outpost built into the side of the Abyssal Rift, a chasm believed to lead right down to the Deep Roads. After being abandoned by the Wardens, it fell under the control of the Tranquil Pharamond, who's experiments accidentally tore the Veil, leading to every building but the Keep being burnt to the ground, the inhabitants killed and their corpses possessed by demons. |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: Castle McDuck. When first introduced in Carl Barks' "The Old Castle's Secret," it was purportedly haunted by the ghost of Sir Quackly McDuck, who sealed himself in its walls along with a chest full of treasure. In Don Rosa's The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, it's apparently haunted by every member of the McDuck clan, who watch over their descendants and help scare off enemies; Sir Quackly is the one who shows himself the most often. There was also a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax launched by their rival clan the Whiskervilles involving a ghostly hound. | |

Kingdom Hearts: While no actual ghosts are present, Hollow Bastion is a strange, supernatural castle abandoned by the original inhabitants in a state of disrepair/mid-repair, mysterious and still-working Magitek, floating platforms, an ocean that flows upward, and is being used as a Evil Tower of Ominousness by Maleficent and her crew of villains.

Mr Krbec and his Animals: Castle Kulikov is haunted by its previous owner Duke Ruprecht. He's mischievous and troublesome, but fairly harmless and occasionally even helpful. He scared away most of previous castellans who had been employed to work there, but he happily coexists with Mr Krbec and his animals. Ruprecht's tricks provide some additional entertainment to tourists as he can make his portrait sway; he can move objects like books or clothes; he happily delivers his mysterious evil laugh; he often appears to others as a white or occasionally see-through ghost and he can even temporarily gain "body and colour". He's also happy to scare away major jerks who deserve it. | |

Warlock of Gramarye: In The Warlock's Companion, it's the location where half the story takes place. The other half is flashbacks, including one that plays with the trope by referring to an ancestor a few centuries ago who, seeing that haunted houses were becoming all the rage, but owning only a fairly recent mansion, instructed the house butler/majordomo to go out and buy an ancestral ghost from somewhere. | |

The Black Cat: The establishing shot shows the fictitious Hungarian mansion is illuminated by flashes of lightning, looming amid drifting fog above leaning crosses and twisted trees. However, it is an example of then-latest avant-garde architecture, "A masterpiece of construction built upon the ruins of the masterpiece of destruction." Fittingly, in a variation of the mad scientist, the villain is a mad architect. | |

Shadow Hearts: Keith's castle is both a straight example and a subversion. It is haunted, as is only appropriate for a castle owned by a vampire, but the owner himself is a very nice guy; all the real trouble in the area is being caused by the mayor of nearby Bistriz. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Most castles, keeps, and holdfasts in the series are old enough to have a legendary ghost or two knocking about somewhere on their grounds. Harrenhal has this reputation, partially because the Targaryens used dragons to roast the castle's holders alive centuries ago, and partially because most of the people who have held the castle since have ended up experiencing both underlying chronic and terminally acute misfortunes. Janos Slynt got sent up to join the Night's Watch, Amory Lorch got thrown in the bear pit when the castle was taken, Vargo Hoat had his limbs chopped off and fed to him by Gregor Clegane, and so on: and, these are just the newest. There are tales of the ghost of Harren the Black and his sons roaming the castle, all looking like charred corpses — possibly capable of setting others ablaze to join them. Not to mention whatever House Lothston as a whole managed to do while living in it to still get used as scary stories to get children across the Riverlands into staying indoors when it starts to get dark, ostensibly for fear of what could come out of the castle on batwings. They've been extinct for decades by the start of the series, but they left a mark. The Nightfort of the Wall has had a decidedly nasty reputation for ages. Partially for which it was eventually abandoned centuries ago. The Rat Cook, Brave Danny Flint, the Night's King and his maybe-Other Queen, the Seventy-Nine Sentinels... Many horror stories of blood, betrayal and ghostly goings on are attached to this castle. Either rightly or wrongly. The magic weirwoody Black Gate it contains, however, isn't just a story. And, that's creepy enough on its own to count. |

Game of Thrones: The Riverlands are home to Harrenhal, a castle built by the Ironborn during their occupation of the region. Though now a ruin, it remains the largest castle built in Westeros, but the day it was completed, the Targaryens invaded and roasted the Ironborn royal family inside. The Histories and Lore bonus material explains that since then every family to hold it has met with misfortune. This holds mostly true even in the present day: Janos Slynt was banished and later executed, Locke had his neck broken by a Bran-controlled Hodor, Gregor Clegane was gravely wounded (it is unclear if the show's version was brought back from the dead as Ser Robert Strong apparently was or merely returned from the brink), Robb Stark, Tywin Lannister, Roose Bolton, and Littlefinger were murdered.The sequel series House of the Dragon adds on this by portraying the fate of the then-current owner House Strong, whose lord and heir Lord Lyonel and Ser Harwin (respectively) were burnt to death under the auspices of their own kin, Lord Confessor Larys. Larys would even invoke the curse of Harrenhal as Plausible Deniability to evade his crimes, especially as they were nominally done in service to the politically-embattled Queen Consort Alicent Hightower. The Nightfort, where Bran and company pass the Wall, is supposedly haunted by the Rat Cook, who violated Sacred Hospitality. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Tails' Skypatrol: DarkCastle is the castle where Witchcart lives. It serves as the game's fifth and final level. Sonic Heroes: Hang Castle is filled with pumpkin-headed ghosts and robotic wizards and witches and sprawls out as far as the eye can see. The following stage, Mystic Mansion, is set on the inside, with the final area on the roof at dawn, having survived the many traps within. The reason Sonic is here is because he's spotted a Chaos Emerald in the castle. Shadow the Hedgehog: Cryptic Castle is a haunted castle owned by Dr. Eggman. Shadow can either choose to help Amy rescue Cream and Cheese, who are trapped inside the castle, or help Eggman defend the castle from the Black Arms by lighting the giant lanterns. |

Warhammer has several of these scattered around. The most famous of them include Castle Drachenfels in the Grey Mountains (lair of Evil Overlord Constant Drachenfels) and Castle Drakenhof in Sylvania (seat of the Von Carstein vampire clan, who are quite fond of ruling their fiefs from such castles). There's also the Brass Keep, a fortress in the desolate Middle Mountains that has been used as a lair by one evil faction after another since the time of Sigmar; and Nagashizzar far to the south, a hollowed-out mountain that was once the domain of Nagash the Necromancer, one of the setting's most prominent Predecessor Villains. | |

Subverted and played for laughs in an episode of the Canadian reality series Kenny vs. Spenny. The two title characters have a competition to see who can stay inside an abandoned house the longest without getting scared. Kenny (the member of the duo that always cheats) tries a number of tactics to scare his friend Spenny, who's easily manipulated. In the end, Kenny is spooked out of the house by a loud noise, which he believed to be a ghost. It was actually a construction crane that fell on the house, making Spenny win the competition. | |
