Haunted House - A bit too horrific?

I mean... it's kinda bad:

What I see here is a basically a King/Queen with a slightly higher coin production at the cost of 500 (freaking 500!) happiness.

A cultural building from the Colonial Age has up to 75 happiness per square. So the Haunted House isn't really 2x2 building - it's actually 7+4 = 11 squares large!

Even in the PMA where we get roughly 110 happiness per square that still equals about 9 squares for the haunted house.
So (even in PMA) it's roughly only half as effective as a king. And a king is already "kinda crappy" (ever since shrines were introduced).

Any chance it's values are still subject to corrections/adjustments?

I don't see any value in it with that high unhappiness. I think it shouldn't be more than -100.

And how about some twists or new ideas to make things more diverse?
Therefore I suggest to increase the Haunted House' coin output by ~60-75% while also making it untargetable for motivation through visiting players (it doesn't give unhappiness for no reason, nobody wants to touch it/go there. And well, in the first place, nobody lives there that could be motivated).
That attribute imho suits the atmosphere/theme quite well.
While we're at it, why does it need a road again?

If you consider using BOTH buildings from the Halloween event... The Haunted House AND the graveyard... The picture is a bit brighter as well... The graveyard is a high value happiness generator and can be polished as well, overcoming the happiness deficit of the haunted house.

And now that they changed the -hap value on haunted house the graveyard more than covers it.

Err...? Maybe I should start building Notre Dame right now, because the graveyard "covers" the space wasted by ND anyway. What kind of logic is that?

If I get a building that is twice as effective as normal buildings (aka 200% aka GOOD) and at the same time one that is only half as effective (aka 50% aka BAD) then I'll always only build that good building on it's own and actually keep my advantage, because well if I would build both the good and the bad building, I could have just built 2 other normal 100% buildings in the first place.

it was good before the change :p

better than a regular building

lets compare to the daily house in CA
almost 3 times the coins of the daily house (3940 / 1350 = 2,92)
but needed only 1,4 times the happiness to be enthusiastic (500 / (259*1,4) = 1,38)

now it is GREAT
