This film is called "House of Darkness" and it was made in 2016 by Lifetime, a TV movie of horror genre. It was directed by Patrick DeLuca, and stars Kate Stone, Ian McNeill and Jake T. Getman. This title must not be confused with "House of Darkness, House of Light: The True Story" series of books.
The film "House of Darkness" is meant to be based on true events, but there's no matching information about a family moving to a haunted house in San Francisco where trick-or-treating kids disappeared in 1957. There are strange stories of families being frightened away from their haunted houses, which is in the case of the Perron family who lived in Rhode Island. Their story was made into a film called "The Conjuring". Also the infamous haunted house called Amityville was made into a film.
Many of these haunted house horror movies come from reports investigated by Ed and Lorraine Warren. To read more about them go and visit the link below.
A lot of things about "House of Darkness" doesn't make a lot of sense but there are many similarities with scenes from other movies. Parts of it was like "The Shining" and "Poltergeist". The neighbours are a bit off, and this may be because they're not real. The true horror is either the spooky events or the dad spiralling into madness. To me this film is sugary and annoying.
