“Scandal, murder, insanity, suicide. The history of Hill House was ideal.” Thus begins Oscar®-winning director Robert Wise’s spectacularly spooky and stylish film adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s bestselling 1959 novel The Haunting of Hill House, one of the quintessential ghost stories of modern literature.
In this chilling masterpiece of psychological horror, based on Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel, ‘The Haunting of Hill House’, Dr. John Markway (Richard Johnson) assembles a small group of guests to investigate the eponymous mansion’s purported supernatural occurrences. As night descends, the house awakens with malevolent forces, and the line between reality and the otherworldly blurs.
Featuring a stellar cast led by Julie Harris and Claire Bloom, THE HAUNTING has been named by Martin Scorsese as the scariest film of all time.
