Darklore Manor is an album released by gothic horror musical group Nox Arcana on Monolith Graphics in 2003. The group's debut album, it features music that bears similarity to the earlier work of Midnight Syndicate, of which Joseph Vargo, Nox Arcana's co-founder, had been a member prior to establishing the group.
This album was inspired by a real-life haunted house located near Salem, Massachusetts, an old Victorian mansion built in 1889. According to local legend, a curse befell the Darklore family, resulting in many mysterious deaths. Then in 1941, the last of the bloodline, Damon Darklore, his wife Elizabeth, and their daughter Belladonna disappeared without any explanation.
Over the years, the abandoned Darklore Manor became a local haunt, something to scare kids on Halloween and a place for daring teenagers to hang out. In 1968, three teens disappeared after holding a seance there on Halloween. The old manor finally burned to the ground in 1971.
Midnight Syndicate, taking inspiration from Nox Arcana, wrote a very similar theme to their later album The 13th Hour in 2005.
