The Haunting (1963)

In the secluded corners of New England, shrouded from the world, stands the Hill House - a chilling 19th-century mansion, standing for 90 years, steeped in a blood-curdling history of death and insanity. Dr. John Markway, an ardent researcher on the fringes of the supernatural, seizes the opportunity to delve into the mysteries of this reputedly haunted house, assembling an eclectic group to accompany him on this eerie expedition. Among them are Luke Sanderson, the skeptical young heir to the Hill House legacy, the enigmatic Theodora, known for her otherworldly ESP abilities, and the introverted Eleanor 'Nell' Lance, whose life has been confined to the four walls of her home, caring for her late mother. With a past touched by the unexplained phenomena of a poltergeist, Nell's psychic connection makes her a magnet for the spectral inhabitants of the mansion. As they settle into the daunting confines of Hill House, the group prepares to uncover its secrets. However, the mansion's chilling grip tightens around them, and they soon find themselves tormented by terrifying ordeals. The spirits are particularly drawn to Nell, her fear and fascination with the house growing simultaneously, making her the epicenter of the haunting. The troubled mansion seems to hold a strange comfort for her, sparking a desire to remain, matched by the spirits' insistent beckoning. Dr. Markway's quest to prove the existence of ghosts grows more perilous as the mansion's spectral presence manifests in increasingly horrific and deadly ways. The group quickly realizes that their adventure in Hill House is more than a mere academic exploration; it's a bone-chilling encounter with the supernatural that they may not survive.
