I watched the changeling and the similarities to the ring blew my mind. Specifically the portion where he goes on his investigation to the rural hotel and find a hole in the floor concealing a well with a dead body.

Two suggestions to add to this list:

1. Coraline (2009)
I know, I know, it's for kids. Except it's not just for kids because it is super creepy. And for one very good reason: few cinematic characters have ever demonstrated as much treacly menace as The Other Mother. This is the only movie that I really wish I had seen in 3-D. I would put this one ahead of Monster House by at least 2 lengths. Not that Monster House is bad — it's really quite entertaining. But Coraline has the goods. And the old, creaky house setting is fun.

2. The Seventh Victim (1943)
Stay with me here. I know it is not a haunted "house", per se, but the movie creates places — a Greenwich Village apartment building and the shadowy New York streets surrounding it — that have palpable menace. You have a sense of place and you just know something sinister is going on there, even if it isn't clear whether it has any supernatural origin. Very creepy.

Nice. Poltergeist scared the crap out of me when I was a kid but The Shining always creeps me out (it\’s almost scary how well-made the movie is).

Another film, made back in the late 90\’s, that is off the radar but has a cool independent creepy style is The Eternal, with an old house in the countryside where Christopher Walken plans to pass the spirit of an ancient druid witch into an unsuspecting Allison Elliot.

Poltergeist was the last movie to scare me, well that and the Happening(just mark wahlberg), I really want see the innocents now.

Great feature this week, well done.

@ Lookf4r

Considering the limited range of elements on which horror movies are based, I\’d say that\’s the only similarity.

Good feature, but I can understand why Kevin didn\’t sign (whatever?)
