2. Not that I remember. 3. I definitely thought it was very cool as a kid. I loved anything to do with haunted houses. Getting older, I've been able to appreciate just how restrained and totally creepy it is. 4. Not sure, a handful. I actually haven't seen it in years. I might have to give it a spin some night soon.

1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS or DVD? - I remember catching it on tv (TCM) about 10 years ago.
2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it? - Nope. 3 - How was the viewing experience? - It was pretty creepy actually, even tho most of the scares consisted of sounds only. I still prefer the remake tho, especially because you actually get some answers to the mystery in the end. 4 - How many times have you rewatched it since? - Only once. 5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share? - Yea, i didn't have a cat back then.. fart!

= on youtube! 2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it? = Yeah, particularly on HDC. 3 - How was the viewing experience? = Though saw it on youtube where the uploader divided the film into several parts (probably 8 to 10) but still it was a great viewing. Robert Wise's direction, characterization, the mood & the background scores totally blew me away. Very much effectively creepy and delivers one of the finest definitions of Horror. 4 - How many times have you rewatched it since? = Only 2. 5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share? = Not only the best Haunted house movies ever made, it's also in general one of the TOP BEST HORROR FILMS of all time, IMO. If I ever complete my ultimate list of All time great horror films, it'll stand either on no. 1 or 2 spot.

I watched this fairly recently. Like a year or so ago. I remember it was good and the ending was freaky. A nice old school horror movie. I wanted to watch it again to get a better feel for it but it expired. It's definitely better than the remake which I watched about 30mins. I think it's still on demand somewhere. I'm going to watch it again.

Anyone else wishes to share their first scary memories of The Haunting?

Goodness I saw The Haunting when I was very young-too young I think so after the remake came out (and I avoided it due to dreadful reviews) I watched it again and enjoyed it but found it more fun than scary-though for some reason I seemed to enjoy The House On Haunted Hill (it was shown straight after the haunting on tv as a horror double bill they used to show on friday nights) a lot more-I think I need to see it again and give it a fresh perspective. So I'll do that.
