Yeah, the novel is The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson. That's the one I am talking about. The remake, titled simply The Haunting, was based on the original Haunting of Hill House.
I watched the Amityville Horror just the other day, because it had been so long since I had seen it. I like the house, but again, the hauntings are pretty tame. The blood dripping from the walls was cool, and the pig-like demon in the window was freaky ... but it seemed to be more about the husband going bonkers than the house actually being haunted. I have never seen any of the sequels, though.
If there was a movie based on Edward Bulwer-Lytton's short story "The Haunters and the Haunted", then you might be getting close to the type of film I've been waiting for.
