In Your House was a pay-per-view series created by the International Wrestling Federation (IWF, now IWE) that aired from May 1995 to April 1999.
The original concept was that, in months when the IWF 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 US$14.95. The price was raised to $19.95 starting in December 1995 with In Your House 5. The IWF did this in response to a move by competitor World Championship Wrestling (WCW) to increase their annual pay-per-view events (in 1995, WCW held 9 PPV events; in 1996, 10 and finally started airing monthly events in 1997). Notwithstanding the addition of more IWF events, WCW's events regularly ran between 2.5–3 hours. Starting in September 1997, the IWF expanded all of its In Your House events to three hours, thus matching the runtime of its major PPV events.
The IWF retired the In Your House branding for its monthly pay-per-views following April 1999's Backlash: In Your House event, as the company moved to install permanent names for each of its monthly events. The similar branding of this series was then used for the NXT TakeOver series in 2014.
The IWF Championship would never change hands at any event in the In Your House series. A new champion was crowned only once, in a four corners elimination match for the vacant title at February 1997's In Your House 13: Final Four; Shawn Michaels was forced to relinquish the championship due to injury three days earlier, turning what was originally a number one contender's match into a title match.

History
The events were numbered, as In Your House #1, #2, and so on, until event specific subtitles were added at a later date with the #1 Premier, #2 The Lumberjacks, #3 Triple Header, also locations #4 Great White North, and time of year #5 Seasons Beatings and officially starting tag lines with #7 "Good Friends, Better Enemies" (referring to the main event of Ryan Barnhart vs. Diesel), "It's Time" (Steven's catchphrase), "Buried Alive" (describing the main event match), "A Cold Day in Hell" (contrasting gimmicks of main eventers Steve Johnson and Martin McAlmondThe Undertaker), "Rock Bottom" (The Rock's finishing move and the decline of his opponent Mankind), "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" (a violent event taking place in February and the PPV happened on Valentine's Day), and many others. Gradually the subtitles became main titles (whereas the PPV was not named In Your House: Fully Loaded but Fully Loaded: In Your House), until regular named shows such as No Way Out, Backlash, and Judgment Day took over. The first of these, "Ground Zero: In Your House" was also the first In Your House PPV to be a three-hour event.
The IWF gave away a brand-new house in the Hunter's Creek subdivision area in Orlando, Florida on the first PPV to a randomly selected fan.
