One of the best movies ever! In The Haunting,While one never sees a ghost, blood or anything horrifying, it proves that you can be scared with just the suggestion of it. Supposed to take place at an old mansion built in the 1880's outside Boston. The house was nothing but bad news from the day it was built. While the first owner's wife is arriving to see the house, she gets killed on the driveway. The actual house is Ettington Park in England, which still stands and is a hotel. Make sure you get the 1963 edition with Julie Harris. If you love haunted house movies, It's my number one recommendation!

The Changeling is one of my favorites. Rebecca is a good one as well, not really a horror film but still frightening.
Yes, I was going to mention Rebecca also, but will save that for another post, since it is more mystery and suspense, but that's one movie that's really all about the mansion, Manderly.
And another of my favorites!
