...saturday silver screen: The Haunting (1963)

 

What's the scariest movie you've ever seen? I've seen dozens (hundreds?) of scary movies, but have never experienced anything more frightening than 1963's 'The Haunting'.  The prologue alone sends shivers down my spine. This classic haunted house movie has no monsters, blood, or slashers, but it is horror at its most perfect--it's all in your mind.

"Hill House, not sane, stood against the hills, holding darkness within. Whatever walked there, walked alone."

Need I say it? Do NOT watch this alone. (It's playing on TMC on Sunday, 9:30pm EDT.) Happy Halloween!
