There's a haunt on a hill...
In 1959, an American Gothic horror novel was released: "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson, which would become one of the most influential haunted house stories ever written in the 20th century.
In 1963, a British movie adaptation of the novel was released under the title "The Haunting" - a work of Robert Wise and Nelson Gidding that would become one of the classics of the black-and-white horror movies.
In 1999, another "The Haunting" movie was released - a Jan de Bont adaptation that presented itself as a remake of the 1963 movie...
... When in truth it was not. The American "The Haunting" was not based on the British movie, neither was it actually based on the original Shirley Jackson novel, despite taking lots of elements, names and details from it.
No, in truth, a careful look at the 1999 "The Haunting" reveals that this movie was actually based on/strongly influenced by a book titled "Hell House".
Published in 1971, "Hell House" is a horror novel by Richard Matheson that was heavily inspired and strongly influenced by Jackson's own novel, to the point a lot of people tend to confuse the two despite being very different in tone, style and outcome, thanks to their similar premise and characters.
The confusion also applies to the 1973 movie adaptation of Matheson's novel, "The Legend of Hell House", which people tend to mix with the 1963 "The Haunting" despite again, very different tones, styles and outcomes.
And things get even more confused when you consider that a "Haunting of Hell House" exists! A 1999 horror movie (yes, released the same year as the American "The Haunting").
But it has nothing to do with either the Haunting of Hill House...
... Or with "Hell House"...
This movie is actually inspired by a story by Henry James, "Ghostly Rental" - hence this movie's alternate name, "Henry James' The Ghost Rental". (Henry James who was also the author of "The Turn of the Screw". Remember, it will be important for later)
However, the movie clearly decided to play on the famous evocation of Jackson's novel by choosing a title that has just one letter different from the original...
And if you believe the chain stops here... There's still much more to say. Much more to see. And much more to compare.
But that will be for another post, because this one might become too big for Tumblr's liking.

Watched Studio 57’s ‘Young Couples Only’ this morning and of course I love Peter Lorre’s unearthly strong alien janitor character. Love me a man who’s gently scolding a grownup guy twice as high as he is while crushing every bone in his hand to dust

Floorplan of the Suite 117 from the movie "Somewhere in Time" (1980).
Did you know that this film, unknown to many and almost forgotten, is a cult film for other people and that thousands of fans come to this hotel every year for conventions and meetings that remember this story?
This is a hand drawn floorplan, made in scale, coloured with colour pencils and with full details of furniture, fabric, timbers and complements...
My New book, "BEHIND THE SCREENS" (ISBN code: 179721943X) is already in bookstores.
If you are interested in a handmade original or other prints visit my store on ETSY or iCanvas:
