The Haunting of Hill House - Movies

Since we are reading a "scary" book this month, you may be interested in a scary movie to go along with it before Halloween. Although we are firm believers in the phrase: "Never judge a book by its movie", sometimes the movies are fun too! :)

The Haunting of Hill House was first made into a movie in 1963 titled The Haunting. This one stars (L to R) Julie Harris as Eleanor, Claire Bloom as Theo, Richard Johnson as the Dr., and Russ Tamblyn as Luke. I'm gonna have to Netflix that one for sure!

The second movie was made in 1999 also titled The Haunting and stars (L to R) Lili Taylor as Eleanor, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Theo, Liam Neeson as the Dr., and Owen Wilson as Luke. Has anyone seen these and if so are they scary/suspenseful? I can't imagine anything with Owen Wilson as scary/suspenseful but ya never know!
