Abstract
Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel The Haunting of Hill House has been widely praised as one of the most frightening tales ever written. Robert Wise's adaptation for the big screen, The Haunting (1963), is considered by a great many scholars and fans to be possibly the scariest movie of all time. Jan DeBont's 1999 version of The Haunting bears traces of both its adapted and remade status, although it was derided by reviewers for its reliance on computer-generated imagery, spectacle, and supernatural explanation. Taken together, these three texts provide an ideal case study for examining the possibilities, complexities, and difficulties involved in literary-cinematic adaptation.
