I’ve scrutinized over this image endlessly, and it looks like there’s a few bookcases with a bench seat in the background. The bit I always waited for on the edge of seat though, was the bearded man in the left front window looking suspicious of his surroundings with a candelabra in his hand in what looks like, the living den of the house. I don’t remember what it was called but my dad and I used to take turns playing this maze game on our ollllllld computer. Timestamping at about every two-minutes, the front door would open and close, giving a peak into the house- which wasn’t much to see other than a possible second door?
With the Full Moon and bats moving in the background in time, the house windows would randomly light up every now and again. The occasional creaking sounds and the cackling owl perched in the Poltergeist tree in front, made up most of what the screensaver has to offer in sound bites, but if you actually sit and watch it like the psycho I am, you’ll find all kinds of wonderous little details in the Mystery House. Switch between objects via the screensavers settings. This flag can optionally be customized by selecting a BMP image file on your computer to use as its texture. In fact, it was mostly pretty chill compared to that of flying toasters, but the illuminated haunted ambience was thrilling for horror nerds like myself. This screensaver includes 7 styles of 3D-rendered objects that can fly through the screen, from the Windows logo and an exploding ball to a ribbon or textured flag. Starting off with a couple of booming organ pipes reminiscent to a Phantom type deal, the animated mystery house screensaver is just animated enough to where it didn’t drive anyone crazy.
