The Haunting (1963 vs 1999)

Send us Fan MailThis week we're looking at a tale of two hauntings as we compare The Haunting (1963) to its 1999 successor. We assess how both versions compare to its source novel, compare its approaches to an iconic character, and unpack the sinister nature of Hill House.
