Sherlock Season 4: 18 Easter Eggs & References From 'The Lying Detective'
13. Drearcliffe House
Another murder case Sherlock mentions occurred at Drearcliffe House. This is the same setting as 1945's Sherlock Holmes and the House of Fear, one of fourteen movies starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes. This series has always been a huge influence on Sherlock, not least because the Rathbone films also updated the detective to the then modern day.
The House of Fear, incidentally, was based of The Adventure of the Five Orange Pips. This a favourite reference point for Sherlock, as it has been alluded to in both The Great Game and The Abominable Bride.
