After The Wolfman was over Turner Classic Movies broadcast The Haunting from 1963 which I'd never seen before. I saw the 1999 remake when it came out and I found it to be rather stupid.
The original however turned out to be quite good. Adapted from the 1959 book The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, this film stars Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn.
Dr. Markway, played by Richard Johnson invites subjects, played by Julie Harris and Claire Bloom, whom he believes to have experienced the paranormal to stay in a house where he believes supernatural events occur. The owner of the house only agrees to let him conduct the investigation if he will allow her nephew to participate.
Once they're all there and settled in some severe spookiness ensues. Severe. Seriously severe.
