Top 5 Haunted House Movies
« on: October 06, 2013, 10:06:53 PM »
Trying to figure out why I don't much enjoy the genre. Here's what I got.

1. The Changeling (1980)
2. Below
3. Paranormal Activity (though technically we learn it's not the house)
4. The Haunting (1963)
5. Hausu

I expect to see a lot of 'The Shining' but how many of you can come up with 4 more?
I don't include Alien because it's a physical creature loose in the dark corridors. Not a supernatural being.

3. The Innkeepers
4. The Orphanage
5. Poltergeist
6. Paranormal Activity 3
7. The Conjuring

Curiously, there are no haunted house movies below between 50 and 100 on my list.
