If you’ve ever been scared by a sound in the night that you weren’t exactly sure what it was, 1963’s The Haunting is sure to chill you. Some houses may be “born bad” but it takes a lot of restraint and skill to make a movie this good.

I just watched 'The Haunting' (1963) for the first time last weekend. I thought it was great. It left a lasting impression on my mind, which many movies fail to do.

I saw this movie about 35 - 40 years ago, it left an impression that I never forgot, I just ordered the dvd and can't wait to watch it again.
Probably the scariest movie I ever saw.

Robert Wise's "The Haunting" is a wonderful haunted house film. I would go so far as to say that it is the greatest one made, and will probably never be topped.
This movie knows that less is more, and that the viewer's mind can conjur up something much more frightening than anything the filmmakers could show on the screen.
There are few films I go to for a good scare, and "The Haunting" is always Number One.
The remake, of course, is regrettable and unnecessary.
