I agree.

A big fan of the similar Legend of Hell House too.

Would it be safe to say that Richard Matheson took a lot from Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House?

Ooh, just a little off.
 
I was going to suggest "The Other", the creepy film based on my favorite horror novel of all time (by Thomas Tryon). But it looks like that came out in 1972 (the book was 1971). Hardly anyone has ever seen it (or read it), but they're both worth checking out (particularly the book). :)

It's possible!

I wouldn't say hardly anyone. It's not as well known as some others, but it's had home video releases.

I've both read the book and seen the film.

The Plague of the Zombies

Was buzzing Netflix and realized " I don't think I've ever seen the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"

So I watched it.

Very good but I think the original ending would have been much more effective.

Agree with you, but I guess that the studio felt Whit Bissell had to make the call and save the day.
IOTBS is a classic...great film.

I watched it back in school for a Philosophy in film class. Read some interesting writing about it. My favorite bit was suggesting the bleeding palms were suggestive of bleeding vaginas. Wow.
