It's getting harder to find good haunted house movies, but there's still plenty of classics to go through. I'd heard a little about this one although nothing much about the specifics of the plot. It's a really great classic set up and must be some very early examples of classic haunted house staple.
It also has a very odd set of relationships. A very close brother and sister, and a romance between a young girl and a much older man. Just comes off as a bit suspicious today I guess. Also very odd by todays standard is the shifts in tone. There's some really great spooky stuff going down but they always feel the need to make a really goofy terrible joke every 10 minutes, which really kills it.
A curious film but I'm glad to have seen it, I think it's a great story that could use an update.
