Even the ones that do a good job with atmosphere, really blow it on the actual hauntings (The Legend of Hell House, The Haunting of Hill House). Is there one I have not seen that is actually good? I like the stereotypical haunted house stuff. Not a sprawling mansion, but a good sized victorian home that is in great disrepair and located on a lot that is overgrown with dead trees. Cobwebs in all the corners, dust all over everything. Moans, groans, rattling of chains, pictures with moving eyes, corpses appearing in closets and disappearing shortly afterwards. That sort of thing.
