Hello, horrorphiles. Here we dissect the classic 1963 film, The Haunting directed by Robert Wise and based on the Shirley Jackson novel, The Haunting of Hill House. Starring Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson and Russ Tamblyn.

“Dr. Markway leads a small group of ghost hunters to a supposedly haunted mansion to conduct experiments to prove the existence of the paranormal. The group consists of Eleanor Lance, a psychologically tortured woman; Theodora, a lesbian clairvoyant who befriends Eleanor; and a hip young cynic, Luke Sanderson, whose family owns the house. The paranormal activity that ensues affects the group differently, leading each to explore his or her own insecurities and leaving viewers wondering whether the real terrors are not contained in the house but exist within the psyches of the characters,” according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.
