Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The former populate his Purgatorio and Paradisio, while the latter — well, let’s just say they are punished, often spectacularly, in his Inferno. His strong views didn’t end there.

Many classic ghost stories involve the use of haunted houses, and the reason is simple: it turns something that is supposed to be cozy and welcoming into a hellish nightmare. Truly, if a home isn't safe, then what is?
