I haven't read The Haunting of Hill House, but it's always been a favorite "spooky movie". The original, that is. I thought the remake in the 2000's was execreble.

Yes — the original is great. The remake — boring CGI crap.

Thanks! I didn’t know there was a previous movie other than the one I saw. I’ll look it up. :)

I watched the movie when I was seven or eight, from my bed in the top bunk. I leaned out and watched over the top of the bedroom door. (Upside down.)

I do not remember the much plot, but I remember that it terrified me. (Paranormal activity; A young girl is called to suicide by ghosts I seem to recollect?)

I will keep it on my list to read after retirement. (Shirley Jackson looks like my late Aunt.)

That movie is part of my annual Halloween Line-up.

Read it. There is no better ghost story.

I read Russ Tamblyn did not really want to do it. I guess he felt he was more for lighter fare. Turned out to be his favorite movie he did.

When I was a kid I read The Haunting of Hill House. Scared the crap out of me. Like most written stories, they’re scarier than the movies.
