‘The Haunting of Hill House’ is also a classic - they made it into a movie and it was...BLECH!
—
WHAT?! The movie is almost universally hailed as the scariest ghost movie ever. Or are you talking about the wretched remake?
I have the original book, by the way, and the 1963 film is very close - even using much of the dialogue.
I didn’t know about the 1963 version - I only saw the latter.
And again I say, ‘BLECH!’ Catherine Zeta Jones? Owen Wilson? Liam Neeson? Laughable!
