Abstract
Richard Matheson has been a writer popularly known either for his works of the fantastic and horror or for his brilliant forays into science fiction. However, his extensive literary and audiovisual production has embraced all genres, from westerns to comedy, as well as various audiovisual formats. In this article we will focus on some work closely related to the fantastic, horror and science fiction, particularly on the novel Hell House, and we will analyse how the author constructs the mental and physical spaces inhabited by the characters. Often troublesome or marginalised subjects usually try to survive forces that exceed their understanding in these infernal, inhospitable and uninhabitable spaces. The aim of this article is to explore this adaptation of Hell House by means of some categories related to the scientific discourse. These categories will allow us to orient ourselves in a boundless and excessive work and that largely remains to be studied.

Summary
Richard Matheson has been a writer popularly known either for his works of the fantastic and horror or for his brilliant forays into science fiction. En La Casa Infernal, por ejemplo, dos de los personajes son médiums (uno físico y otro psíquico), de tal manera que en su particular mundo la irrupción del demonio o un caso de posesión son perfectamente posibles (da igual si son más o menos improbables).
