2023 Spooky Flix Fest Bonus – The Haunting (1963) Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

You can watch the VIDEO version of this episode here: Spooky Flix Fest BONUS Episode: The Haunting (1960) Horror Movie Review - YouTube In this bonus episode, the Retro Movie Geek crew is joined/replaced by their friends over at Phantom Galaxy, and they're geeking out over The Haunting (1963)! Synopsis: "An evil old house, the kind some people call haunted, is like an undiscovered country waiting to be explored. Hill House had stood for 90 years and might stand for 90 more. Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House and whatever walked there, walked alone." Thus begins one of the most chilling, most frightening, truly unforgettable horror films ever. Dr. Markway is an anthropologist with a special interest in psychic phenomena who wants to try a true exercise in terror. Intrigued by the legend of Hill House, he invites two women, psychic researchers, to join him in his adventure. Mrs. Sannerson, who has inherited the old mansion, is suspicious of Dr. Markway's intentions and insists that her young nephew Luke go along with the group. Luke is a skeptic about the supernatural, until he enters Dr. Markway's eerie world. The classic forerunner of such films as Poltergeist and The Shining, The Haunting is a hair-raising screen rendition of Shirley Jackson's riveting gothic novel, The Haunting of Hill House. Like Luke, you may not believe in ghosts, but you cannot deny the terror of The Haunting! ..........................................................................................................................
