[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haunting.jpg]]
The ultimate example of less-is-more in horror cinema. Eleanor "Nell" Lance (Julie Harris) has volunteered for a study on paranormal activity conducted by Dr. John Markway (Richard Johnson), with two other participants: Luke Sanderson (Russ Tamblyn), who stands to inherit Hill House, where the study's being held, and Theo (Claire Bloom) a woman with ESP skills. Turns out the doctor's suspicions about the existence of ghosts are correct. There's something in the house with them. But what?
It was based on the book ''{{The Haunting of Hill House}}'' by Shirley Jackson.
Remade in 1999 with LiamNeeson, LiliTaylor, Owen Wilson, and Catherine Zeta Jones.
----
!!!This movie contains examples of:
* AmbiguouslyGay: Theo.
* AttentionWhore: Theo suggests more than once that Nell is one.
* BigFancyHouse
* BookEnds: "Hill House had stood for ninety years and might stand for ninety more. Silence lays steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there... walked alone."
* CreepyHousekeeper: Mrs. Dudley who makes sure to remember the guests that she lives miles away from the house, that there won't be anyone around if they need help, no one will hear them if they scream and then [[TheUnsmile unsmiles]].
* CrustyCaretaker: Mr. Dudley
--> You'll be sorry I ever opened the gate.
* DrivenToSuicide: One of the past owners of the house hanged herself. [[spoiler: Nell]] may qualify too.
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: The air around the nursery is terribly cold, Dr. Markway says it's the heart of the house.
* TheFilmOfTheBook: [[AdaptationDisplacement Which not many have heard of since]]. (In the niche circles of horror literature fandom, the book still has a reputation as something of a classic, though many are still introduced to it via the works inspired by it.)
* FootFocus
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Nell asks to borrow her sister's car, to which her sister replies: [[spoiler: "How do I know you'll bring back my car in good condition?" Nell is killed when she crashes the car into a tree]].
* GeniusLoci: If you take into consideration what Eleanor says about the house, it certainly is one.
* GhostlyChill
* HauntedHeroine: Nell. Most of the hauntings centers around her.
* HauntedHouse
* HauntedHouseHistorian
* MyBelovedSmother: Eleanor's late mother.
* NothingIsScarier
* OnlyOneName: Theo
--> I'm Theodora, just Theodora.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent
* PsychicPowers: Theo is an Esper and it shows, subtly.
* ScreamingWoman
* SupernaturalProofFather: Luke. He is not a father (not even fatherly), but he certainly is very skeptic about all the hauntings.
* TitleDrop
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Theo and Nell.
* [=~You Look Like You've Seen A Ghost~=]
!!!TheRemake has these additional tropes:
* AdaptationExplanationExtrication: Eleanor shouts "Who was holding my hand?" in homage to one of the original's creepiest moments. Problem is, the context is completely different and there's absolutely no reason for her to be saying it.
* BiTheWay: In the original, there's a ''vague'' sense of LesYay between the two female leads. The original had [[ValuesDissonance good reason]] to keep it purely subtext, but this version practically bashes you over the head with a cricket bat that has "Theo Is Bisexual" painted on it.
* BuryYourGays: Surprisingly averted.
* CaptainObvious: Owen Wilson's entire role. "That staircase won't hold your weight!"
* OffWithHisHead: Poor Owen Wilson.
* SceneryPorn: The sets of the house itself are intricate and ''gorgeous''.
* SpookyPainting
* TheVoiceless: Only one of two the assistants spoke, not that they're relevant to the story anyway.
