"Haunted House" is used most prominently in melody change rips. It first appeared in the September 16, 2016 rip "Vampire Killer - Castlevania". After that, it appeared 19 times during the remaining two weeks of Season 1, almost all of which had a relevant word like "Castle", "Haunt", or "Beast" in the title. It was later used as a major meme during The SilvaGunner Spooktacular Halloween Horror Special. During this event, a fake game dedicated to the meme, , was introduced, which is used to publish edits of/involving the song. Since then, "Haunted House" has become a recurring joke in all Halloween events, along with "Kyun! Vampire Girl".
Since its appearance on SiIvaGunner was the first time the fanbase had heard it, it was initially referred to as "the mystery meme".Deleted Reddit post about the meme; September 20, 2016 Eventually, an upload of "Ｃａｃｈｅ Ｂｏｓｓ" by YouTube user MattHubris was discovered. With the increased attention the video received, MattHubris uploaded the original 8-Bit Beast track in another video, "8-Bit Beast - Castle boss", a few days later, revealing the true source of the meme to the fanbase. SiIvaGunner would later upload "Haunted House - 8-Bit Beast's Haunted House", which is also unedited, to end any ambiguity.
In SiIvaGunner lore, "Haunted House" was of a result of Wood Man, who was the one to bring the use of it in rips. As well as this, the 8-Bit Beast is an actual character. Its appearance is based on the cover of 8-Bit-Beast's Haunted House Remastered, which also served as the inspiration for the 8-Bit Beast's Haunted House thumbnail. The Beast has been implied to be Wood Man in a werewolf-esque transformation, "A Nice Announcement" being the first video to indicate this.
