It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

The Haunting (1963)

Probably my favorite haunted house movie
The Uninvited (1944)

a close 2nd.....
The Haunting of Hill House (Netflix series)

I think a very creative adaptation with several good scares.
Merry Christmas to all.....

and now for Halloween night....
Frankenstein (1931)

My first and favorite....
Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

IMHO, probably the first sequel equal to/better than the original
Son of Frankenstein (1939)

Rathbone, Karloff & Lugosi introducing us to Ygor....what more could I ask for
Merry Christmas to all.....
