GRANTED, it was my first year in a long time, but I still enjoyed the last house. Yeah yeah, completely unoriginal property, but goshdarnit, it scared me--like, a lot. The hammer kill scene had me fearing for my safety. I wanted OUT the whole time (in the way that they intended, that is).
The path in my idea would be made by toy shelves, allowing you to see the rest of the house at nearly all times. Basically the house from 19 meets CGY.
