watched the rest of The Haunting.
***** small spoiler alert ********
interesting the way it was fairly effective as more of a psychological horror...
Nothing was ever seen, no FX .. it was the way the house was filmed that built up the suspense.
still .. the characters were fairly 2 dimentional, except Theo.
This is pretty typical of a lot of these older films .. the characters are handled in a very hamfisted manner... very black and white ..
(eg. the 'money guy' cares only about money - untill the last possible moment in the film ..no gradual developement)
Cool to see Lois Maxwell as something other than Moneypenny..
