So far I know of The Haunting from 1999. Starring Lili Taylor, Catherine-Zeta Jones and Liam Neeson.

It would be so weird seeing those roles played by big celebs now. Although I do like Lili Taylor (ahem, not just because she’s X-Files alumni…)

@milanfahrnholz

And then there is the Haunting from 1963, which came out only 4 years after the novel, is very subtle yet effective. That´s a must see classic.

I would definitely watch that one.

@milanfahrnholz

BTW. There was one scene in one episode of the show where there was Russ Tamblyn as a therapist that probably made you go: “Oh, it´s that mad doctor from Twin Peaks!” however the reason he was there was probably rather that he was in the 1963 Haunting, he is the second guy from the left in that picture.

Oh yeah, heheh! Can just about tell it’s him. Actually he looks a bit James Marsters-y

@milanfahrnholz

So I think you can watch this now if you haven´t already.

I read an article with pictures of them all – some are really subtle and others right there. But every moment is potentially so important I didn’t want to get distracted looking for them. The only ones I spotted were that blonde woman in the damp room and the face behind the glass in the kitchen.

@milanfahrnholz

Yeah, right. as if I´m looking at the background when Carla Gugino is in the foreground!

She really is stunning!

I also meant to say that

One scene made me jump more than any other scene in any horror movie The car scene from ep.8

I completely concur. It was so unexpected in the middle of that intense dialogue. It did feel like one of the ‘cheaper’ scares – but then again it led to some important relationship mending.
