On a Dark and Stormy Night
I save the best video for Halloween. I choose one or three from this list of 13 Great Ghost Stories.
13 Great Ghost Movies
• The Innocents (1961) - based on Henry James's Turn of the Screw, but somehow even scarier.
• The Haunting (1963) - based on Shirley Jackson's chilling The Haunting of Hill House. The movie is better than the book. Watch out for the spiral stairs!
• Blithe Spirit (1945) - Wonderful screwball comedy involving dead people and a zany medium. My Dad saw the stage play in London during WW2 when he was stationed in England.
• 13 Ghosts (1960) - I saw this with the special glasses in the old Rockland Theater in my home town of Nyack, NY and it scared the heck out of me.
• Topper (1937) - I actually liked the TV show better. Cary Grant made the better ghost, though.
• The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947) - The most romantic story in the list. You've got to love Gene Tierney.
• Ghost (1990) - Sappy, but I like the crazy guy on the subway.
• The Shining (1980) - Here's Johnny! Way over the top, but still a scary story.
• House on Haunted Hill (1958) - One word: Vincent Price.
• The Canterville Ghost (1944) - has one of my mother's favorite actors, Charles Laughton, having a wonderful time with the part of the ghost.
• Poltergeist (1982) - Perhaps too slick, but a cool ending and the clown under the bed was cool.
• Hold That Ghost (1941) - best Abbot and Costello movie.

Hold the presses - just one more!
• Portrait of Jennie (1948) - Haunting tale of an artist obsessed by a beautiful ghost. Jennifer Jones is the beautiful ghost with the sad eyes and Joseph Cotton plays the tortured artist who paints her portrait.
