You know, I had a thread about this not too long ago ... and never really got any help with it. I've been disappointed by just about every haunted house movie I have ever seen.

In fact, the only one that doesn't bore me to tears is House, starring that great American hero, William Katt.

HAHA! I loved that show.....

Yeah, haunting movies are typically glitz these days, with very little put into actual creepiness. i am writing a story about a "haunted" old building... I hope it provides the desired effect. (basically, scares someone shitless)

The house on haunted Hill remake got a lot of the visuals right, btu the movie as a whole just doesnt hold up. Not caring what happens to the characters hurts the story.

I'll tell you the same thing I told Stingy.
"The Changeling" with George C Scott.
I thought it was very creepy and it was a great little mystery as well.

I think I may have seen that, and have forgotten all about it. Was that the one with the dead kid in the well? The kid who's dad drowned him the tub?
