When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk
It's probably a backlot. Films weren't shot on location back then like they are now.
"Yeah well that may be, but at least I never slept with Lumbergh."
saw this from a poster on amazon...
The sets, by the way, are leftovers from Orson Welles' "The Magnificent Ambersons",

You have a very good eye abakusek and know a lot about movies for your age.
I had not associated the lightning with the house being real. Now that you point that out, I´ll look at that aspect when I watch the film a second time.
What is a sound stage?
Have you seen the following classics? Do you know where to get them at a reasonable price? None of them has been released in any form of Home Video.
¨Our mother´s house, 1967,
A room at the top, 1959
Wild is the Wind (1957),
The Other Love (1947),
To Each his Own (1946),
My Cousin Rachel, 1953
The lost moment (1947)
THE RECKLESS MOMENT (1949)
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I'm bored so I did a little leg work for ya. Here's what I found out about the items on your wish list.
Our mother´s house, 1967, no luck
A room at the top, 1959 - Amazon $25+
Wild is the Wind (1957), nada :/
The Other Love (1947), VHS & DVD $5+
To Each his Own (1946), VHS, Ebay $5+ , Amazon $35
My Cousin Rachel, 1953 - Looks like the book is your only option here :/
The lost moment (1947) - Available on VGS, around $10 on ebay, $30 on Amazon,
THE RECKLESS MOMENT (1949) - good luck...
This is just easy basic search on these 2 sites since if they're in release chances are it'd appear on one of them. G'luck and I hope you enjoy :)

In reply to your question about sound stages: A sound stage is a facility, generally on a movie studio lot, in which filming can be accomplished with no extraneous sounds or sights that might have to be edited out. In these large hanger-sized buildings, sets and lighting can be created to the filmmakers' specifications.
Most movies in the "studio era" (up through the 50s and 60s) were filmed on sound stages, because this was the most cost-effective way to make movies.
......also---fascinating to learn that "The Spiral Staircase" was filmed on "The Magnificent Ambersons" sets!

This IS a wonderful film! It scared the heck out of me when I first saw it as a young kid. Both the always-beautiful Dorothy McGuire and George Brent (in an interesting variation of his usual suave, leading man role) were outstanding, along with the rest of the cast.
I particularly enjoyed the scene in which Ms. McGuire envisions her wedding ceremony with Kent Smith. And wasn't Elsa Lanchester an absolute hoot as the brandy-loving housekeeper?
"This IS a wonderful film! It scared the heck out of me when I first saw it as a young kid."
Agree....I didn't see all of the film when I was a kid, (nor did I see all this time) but the quote "You scared the life out of me" is a line I will always remember. Now at least I know which movie it was from....(and its coming on TCM again I see....)
Read My Lips!!!!
The Magnificent Ambersons is precisely the film I was thinking about while watching this - thank you for that bit of trivia I would have been too lazy to google.
Also, I thought that Wise's Haunting might have been influenced by this, even though it's an adaptation - Dr. Markway looks like a combination of Prof. Warren and Dr. Parry, both physically and in demeanor (protective yet overbearing and obsessive) and the house in Spiral Staircase is almost a character in itself.
But maybe I just haven't seen enough Gothic thrillers to draw better analogies.
And that amateurish psychotherapy session with Dr. Parry was very much like Marnie.
Ah, so that's why the house looked so familiar. I kept getting the feeling of deja vu during several scenes. I'd seen the set in "The Magnificent Ambersons" and possibly other movies.
Yes, Elsa Lanchester was a hoot as the brandy-loving housekeeper. My mind kept superimposing the Bride of Frankenstein's hair on her head every time Mrs. Oates came on screen. I thought for sure she'd hiss at the dog she tripped over by the open window.
No two persons ever watch the same movie.share
Our Mother's House, Room at the Top, Wild Is the Wind, To Each His Own, My Cousin Rachel are all shown (some more frequently) on Turner Classic Movies.
Thanks for your message. However, read this update.
TCM only started to show ¨Wild is the Wind,¨ this or last month after I requested it several times (in case you or anyone else who reads this is interested, it will show again on 22 June, I´ve checked).
TCM showed ¨Our Mother´s House¨ for the last time in October 2006. It seems they only show it when they are able to rent the movie from the distributor or producer, i.e.: once every blue moon.
TCM does not show ¨To Each his Own¨ nor ¨My Cousin Rachel.¨ These films are not part of TCM library, i.e. TCM doesn´t own the films. Therefore, they can only show these films if they are able to rent them from the distributor or producer. It´d help if we repeatedly request TCM to do so. I´ve requested other films to be shown by TCM, which were also not part of their library, and they were eventually showed (e.g. ¨COVER GIRL¨ with Rita Hayworth; ¨Reflections in a Golden Eye¨ (1967) with Liz Taylor and Marlo Brando. My guess is that TCM was able to rent them, when they do that they only show the film a couple of times during a short period time, which seems to be the case now with ¨Wild is the Wind.¨
Anyone who is interested to see a film that is not regularly showed by TCM should send a special request to TCM asking that they rent the film. You may do so in their webpage ¨request this film.¨
See below a personal inquiry I sent to TCM back in 2006 for further information.

The following films that are not out on Home Video do not play (or at least I haven't seen them play) in TCM. Is it that TCM doesn't have rights over them? How long could it take for these films to be shown on TCM or to be released on Home Video? Thanks.
Wild is the Wind (1957)
The Other Love (1947)
To Each his Own (1946)
THE RECKLESS MOMENT (1949)
My cousin Rachel (1953)
The Lost Moment (1947)
Our mother´s house (1967)
The room at the top (1959)

Subject: Broadcast Rights - RE: Movies That don't show in TCM or that I don't see to be shown
Dear Viewer,
Turner Classic Movies does not have the rights to broadcast everything you request. For example, the Charlie Chan series was made by the Fox studios in the 1930's. Likewise, Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Betty Grable were under contract with 20th Century Fox. The Ma & Pa Kettle titles were made by Universal. Columbia had Rita Hayworth under contract and produced the Boston Blackie and Blondie and Dagwood series. We do not have access to the 20th Century Fox, Paramount, United Artists, Columbia, or Universal libraries. TCM does, from time to time, "rent" a small number of titles from other companies.
Below is an explanation of the films in our library.
The Turner library holdings consist of the pre-1986 MGM library, the pre-1949 Warner Brothers library, and the entire RKO library.
Turner Entertainment Co. Film Library:
1,707 MGM Feature Films (1915-1986)
854 Warner Bros. Feature Films (1924-1949)
787 RKO Feature Films (1929-1958)
948 MGM Short Subjects
320 MGM Cartoons
1,450 Warner Bros. Short Subjects
335 Warner Bros. Cartoons
51 RKO Short Subjects
Universal controls its own films, plus the pre-1949 Paramount talkies.
Paramount controls its own films from 1949 to the present, and all of its silent features.
Warner Brothers controls its own films from 1949 to the present, plus some independently produced films.
20th Century Fox controls its own films, plus the libraries of its pre-1935 corporate elements, the Fox Film Corporation and 20th Century Pictures, Inc.
The newly-created corporate entity Sony/MGM probably controls both the entire Columbia/Tristar library and the MGM library from 1986 to the present.
United Artists is a bit difficult to determine, because they distributed independent films in addition to producing their own films. I'm guessing that they have the rights to the latter, and not the former. Before merging with MGM in 1979, they controlled the pre-1949 Warners Brothers library.
Thank you for watching TCM!
Best,
