THE HAUNTING
October 2, 2015  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 11:30 p.m. ET

 

Here's the best of tonight's TCM "haunted house" movies: This slow-building but jarringly effective 1963 horror movie was directed by Robert Wise, two years after he made the film version of West Side Story and two years before he directed another screen musical, The Sound of Music. This film, by contrast, is anything but a tune-filled romp: Julie Harris stars as one of a small group of people terrorized by what appears to be a paranormal entity, and a sinister one at that. Also among the stars: Russ Tambyn, who starred for Wise as one of the Jets in West Side Story.
