The Haunting (1963)
Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson |
Consumed by guilt and grief over her mother's recent death and driven to adventure by her
belief in the supernatural, Eleanor Vance is the most unstable--and therefore the most vulnerable--visitor to
Hill House. She's invited there by anthropologist Dr. Markway, along with the bohemian lesbian Theodora, who has
acute extra-sensory abilities, and glib playboy Luke Sanderson, who will gladly inherit Hill House if it proves to
be hospitable. Of course, the shadowy mansion is anything but welcoming to its unwanted intruders. Strange noises,
from muffled wails to deafening pounding, set the stage for even scarier occurrences, including a door that
appears to breathe (with a slowly turning doorknob that's almost unbearably suspenseful), unexplained writing on
walls, and a delicate spiral staircase that seems to have a life of its own. |

The Haunting (1999)
Lili Taylor, Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Owen Wilson |
In the 1860's, industrialist Hugh Crain financed the construction of Hill House, a beautiful
but forbidding mansion where Crain hoped to house a wife and children. However, Crain died an unexplained death
at Hill House, and ever since tales have circulated that the mansion is haunted by evil spirits. 130 years later,
Dr. David Marrow, long fascinated by the Hill House legend, brings three people there for what he tells them will
be a study in sleep disorders. Theo is outwardly brave, but it soon becomes evident that Hill House's sinister
reputation has her on edge. Luke quickly finds himself wondering: if this is really about studying sleep, why
bring everyone to a haunted house? And Nell finds herself inexplicably drawn to the mansion, with a fascination
that soon bears terrifying fruit as the true story of Hill House is revealed. |

House on Haunted Hill (1959)
Vincent Price, Carolyn Craig |
Vincent Price stars as a deliciously silky millionaire married to a greedy gold digger who
refuses to divorce him. When he turns his wife's idea for a haunted-house party into a contest--$10,000 to whoever
will spend the night in "the only truly haunted house in the world"--it seems he may have found an alternative to
divorce. Five strangers gather to test their stamina, Price hands each of them delightfully twisted party favors
(loaded handguns, delivered in their own tiny coffins), and the spook show begins. Blood drips from the ceiling,
zombie-like apparitions float through rooms, severed heads and skeletons suddenly appear, and then a guest is found
hanging in the stairwell. Full of screams and things that go bump in the night, House on Haunted Hill isn't
particularly scary and often makes little sense, but, like a Halloween haunted house, the spectacle of spook-show
clichés is quite entertaining, and Price makes a sardonic master of ceremonies. |

Jeffrey Combs, Peter Gallagher, Famke Janssen |
When an eccentric millionaire offer a group of opposites $1,000,000 to spend the night in a so
called "Haunted House" with a murderous past, they figure it is a quick way to get quick money and leave. All of
them are sure it is some made up story just to mess with their heads a little and test their courage. But, once
they stay in the house they start to think about the mistake they made in coming there when mysterious things
start to happen. |

Return to House on Haunted Hill (2007)
Jeffrey Combs, Erik Palladino, Steven Pacey |
Sarah Wolfe was the only living survivor from the massacre at the Vanacutt Mansion, but no one
believed her claims that ghosts were responsible for the gruesome murders that took place there. Now her recent
and questionable suicide leaves her sister, Ariel, no choice but to devote herself to finding out who - or what -
was responsible for her death. Ariel discovers that Sarah sent her the diary of the sadistic Dr. Vanacutt just
before she died, offering clues to the diabolical evil that resides within the house. But the diary also makes
Ariel a target in a deadly treasure hunt that leads a group of unwitting victims back to the Vanacutt Mansion,
reawakening the terror imprisoned within the house on the hill. This time, the house and the evil spirits inside
are out to make sure that no one leaves alive. |

Monster House (2006)
Ryan Newman (III), Steve Buscemi |
The spooky shadows and eerie creaking of a rickety old house are brought to life via lush CGI
in Monster House. A young boy named DJ has suspicions about the house across the street and the cranky old man
who lives there. When the old man has a heart attack and is carried away by an ambulance, DJ thinks the danger is
over. Unfortunately, as he, his friend Chowder, and a candy-selling prep-school girl named Jenny discover, the
house itself has plans--plans that include eating all the kids who'll be trick-or-treating that Halloween night. |

The Shining (1980)
Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall |
With wife Wendy and psychic son Danny in tow, frustrated writer Jack Torrance takes a job as
the winter caretaker at the opulently ominous, mountain-locked Overlook Hotel so that he can write in peace.
Before the Overlook is vacated for the Torrances, the manager informs Jack that a previous caretaker went crazy
and slaughtered his family; Jack thinks it's no problem, but Danny's "shining" hints otherwise. Settling into
their routine, Danny cruises through the empty corridors on his Big Wheel and plays in the topiary maze with
Wendy, while Jack sets up shop in a cavernous lounge with strict orders not to be disturbed. Danny's alter ego,
"Tony," however, starts warning of "redrum" as Danny is plagued by more blood-soaked visions of the past, and a
blocked Jack starts visiting the hotel bar for a few visions of his own. Frightened by her husband's behavior and
Danny's visit to the forbidding Room 237, Wendy soon discovers what Jack has really been doing in his study all
day, and what the hotel has done to Jack. |
