The Haunting 1963 Julia Harris, Clair Bloom. One of the scariest movies I have ever seen. The hair rose on the back of my neck just typing the title. Something about the movie... demonic? Don’t know, but you asked for it so there it is. Just don’t invite me over, OK?
I recall there was a made-for-tv movie/miniseries about a decade ago about a woman/family that started getting spook stuff in their house.
Somewhat loosely based on a real event.
Practically scared the ankles off of me!!
I’ve seen “The Haunting” and that one is pretty scary. It pretty much seems to me that the scariest stuff isn’t the most overblown blood and guts things, but the stripped-down very basic psychological terror flicks.
That’s why Rosemary’s Baby will always be near the top of my list. That’s the kind of movie you watch and then you do not sleep that night!!
One of the best scary movies ever....and you *never* see what “it” is that’s freaking you out.
That’s just seriously good film making.
The movie was based on Shirley Jackson’s “The Haunting of Hill House”.
That woman could write creepy!
Here’s her “The Lottery” short story.
