Ever wonder how much the home from “Poltergeist” or “The Amityville Horror” would set you back? We did the research to find out what these classic horror homes are worth.

Love ’em or loathe ’em, horror movies take center stage leading up to Halloween. But how much attention have you really paid to the horror movie homes behind the on-screen supernatural events?

In honor of the scariest season of the year, Trulia dug up the locations where some classic horror movies were filmed or where the events that inspired the scary scripts took place. Then we looked at home prices (including lots of Los Angeles real estate) for similarly sized homes in the same city, neighborhood, or ZIP code. From the instantly recognizable house in “Insidious” to the unassuming suburban home from “Poltergeist,” each of these horror movie homes has a (terrifying) story to tell — and a corresponding real estate value.

Are the prices as shocking as the horror movies themselves? You be the judge.

Alphabet Inc. plans to merge Google’s two core operating systems, Chrome and Android, into a single offering, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, based on anonymous sources. Android is the dominant mobile operating system across the world, challenged only by Apple Inc’s iOS, but the Chrome operating system, used on Chromebooks, is far behind Apple and Microsoft Corp. on personal computers. The two will be united under the Android name, which will give PCs that use the operating system access to the Google Play app store, the Journal reported. The combined operating system is targeted for a 2017 release, but an early version will be displayed next year, according to the Journal report.
