Parodied in Something Awful's Doom House. Or possibly played straight, if it's possible to think of anything used there without being parodied. It's just a one-person "family", though. The house turns out to be haunted by a strange doll and built over a terrorist burial camp. |

Recurring trope in the Amityville series, either by a family moving into a Haunted House, or by receiving a cursed item that brings problems to their new home. |

In Full Circle, Julia just wants to escape her overbearing husband and the memories of her daughter's death by moving into a new house alone. Naturally, the house has a deep dark past and is apparently haunted. |

A non-supernatural example in Panic Room. Meg and Sarah move into a big house in New York, and get trapped in the titular panic room by thieves the first night. The ending shows them looking for another house. |
