Happy New Year! Welcome to the 30 Day Challenge for January, which will focus on various settings that play host to stories. This will include sets, locations, buildings and other types of environments, any scope from a scene to a world. We’ll cover primarily film and television, but also books, music, video games and the stage, later in the month.

To kick things off, the first main prompt is: What is your favorite house that appears in a movie? (For today, just feature films; we’ll tackle television tomorrow.)

Bonus Prompt: Have you ever visited a famous movie house?

Geographical Fakeout Prompt: What home or neighborhood setting convinced you that the movie was filmed where its story is (fictionally) set, only for you to later learn that it was filmed somewhere else?
