There are quite a few movies where it's not the house that's haunted, like in Paranormal Activity, but even if it is the house, then it's a certain demon, like in Poltergeist. And, if it's not a specific demon, then that location usually is isolated, like in The Shining, or the building itself changes in order to trap the victims, like in Grave Encounters.

So there's no other haunted house movie where they could've just left? Also as i already mentioned the house possessed the father/husband and he was keeping them there and think about it realistically. If something like that really happened in those circumstances would you really think that the house was possessing your significant other and uproot your entire life and move into a new house (Which is not as easy as movies make it seem) or would you just think theres something wrong with your spouse? The latter seems more likely to me. I hate the whole "Just leave the house" argument.
Also this is just nitpicking but with the first poltergeist it was the house that was haunted because of the burial ground. The demon storyline was in the second one.
