In Your House was a pay-per-view series created by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), active in the latter half of the 1990s. The original concept was that, in months when the WWF was not holding one of its major PPV events (WrestleMania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble, which at the time ran for three hours and retailed for $29.95), they would offer a two-hour PPV, priced at $14.95. The price was raised to $19.95 starting with In Your House 5: Season's Beatings. The WWF did this in response to a move by competitor World Championship Wrestling (WCW) to hold monthly pay-per-views, with the difference being that WCW's events were typical 2.5-3 hour shows. The WWF eventually expanded all of its pay-per-view specials to three hours, including In Your House events.
WWF retired the In Your House branding for its monthly pay-per-views following 1999's Backlash: In Your House event, as the company moved to install permanent names for each of its monthly events like WCW had.

Famous quotes containing the word house:
“Somewhere between the overly intrusive parent and the parent who forgets about us after we’re out of the house is the ideally empathetic parent who recognizes the relativity of choice, the errors of his or her own way, and our need to find our own way and who can stay with us at a respectful distance while we do it.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
