Directed by one of our favorite directors, Robert Wise, "The Haunting" is an excellent haunted house story. Starring Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson and Russ Tamblyn, it’s equal parts spooky atmosphere and jump-out-of-your-seat scares. Bob remembers seeing it in the theater and I can only imagine how much popcorn would have been spilled, especially in that scene at the top of the rickety spiral staircase!
