Good recommendations. Especially “Experiment in Terror”, gotta see this one!

The Uninvited. Great example. I knew I was forgetting some good ones.

Another great ghost story film is “The Univited” with Ray Milland. The first night when he gets back to the spooky old house on the cliff is pretty intense, when he and his sister hear someone sobbing in the dark. That scene kind of wigs me out whenever I see it. Just as in The Haunting, disemobided sounds really send a shiver up my spine.

In M, when Peter Lorre’s character whistles that tune from Peer Gynt (I think) just before he attacks another kid. Very creepy.

You sure picked some wonderful ones, starting out with one of my favorites from my childhood. So amazing that Ross Martin, that lovable and wonderful fellow, should have been so incredibly chilling in “Experiment in Terror”. I used to watch that movie ten times in a week on the Million Dollar Movie. Loved it! And “The Haunting” — same thing…watched it a million times and still spooked.

Great examples!
