Maybe it's just me (I highly doubt it :)) but I didn't get it. It wasn't scary, there was no suspense and Eleanor was so over-the-top hysterical that she ruined the film.

Julie Harris was terrible in that role. And the doctor was a complete buffoon.


Yes, it's you. The Haunting is widely regarded as one of the greatest ghost movies ever. The direction, suspense and atmosphere are incomparable.

Well, everyone has different tastes.

I'll chalk it up to a difference of opinion. I really did not like it at all.

In comparison, I feel "Carnival of Souls" was much better.

Thats true but I too feel like its one of the greatest ghost movies ever - very atmospheric and the audio is great on it..I love the intro history bit too..

I like Lengend of Hellhouse alot too...

That being said Carnival of Souls is a great film...Have you seen night tide?

The Body Snatcher (1945)



Based on a story of Robert Louis Stevenson, produced by Val Lewton, directed by Robert Wise and the cast includes the top legendary icons like Karloff & Lugosi!...it's more than a bargain for an ardent classic horror lovers and it meets the expectations perfectly. Absolutely loved it and added to my list of Hundred Horror Films Forever. Not only for Cabman John Gray by Karloff, the heartless character of Dr. 'Toddy' MacFarlane also was an unforgettable performance from Henry Daniell in the film.

Btw, I didn't expect the climax to be turned out that creepy!:o...another brilliant result of Lewton-Wise collaboration.
