I just re-watched the HAUNTING (1963) for the umpteenth time the other night, which inspired me to start this thread- can we list 100 GHOST movies?
(Of course we can!)
1. the HAUNTING (1963)- the BEST (IMHO) of them all!
I read the book as a teenager and have NEVER been without a copy since. Shirley Jackson is nearly impossible to translate to the screen, but Robert Wise still managed to make it into a classic film.

The Haunting was very scary :buggedout:
2. GHOST STORY (1981)
3. THE CHANGELING (1980)
4. THE OTHERS (2001) :buggedout:
5. THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979)
6. THE EVIL (1978)
7. THE INNOCENTS (1961)
8. the LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE (1973) A fun movie- but the book by Richard Matheson is so much better.

9. The Sixth Sense (1999)
10. SESSION 9 (2001) 😳

Decent, at least by Bert I. Gordon's standards.

I was very tired and a bit depressed until I read that, thanks Ronny 🙏😆😄🐢
It's my job. It's what I do!
19. KILL, BABY, KILL! (1966) This is likely my 2nd favorite ghost movie. A classic.

25. THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS (1997) 🦁
26) The Ghost & Mr. Chicken
(Barely. The end implies there was a real ghost after all.)
27. KWAIDAN (1964)
This is a beautiful movie. Near perfect.

31. CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE (1944)
(https://i.imgur.com/6VLubfE.jpeg) (https://lunapic.com)
32) The Time of Their Lives
Lou Costello is cursed to occupy the grounds of a Revolutionary War era estate until his name us cleared.
Good comedy, but Bud & Lou don't act as a team. Gives the film a different feel than most of their efforts.

Whether there are actually vampires in it, remains an open question, but it definitely has a ghost.

43. GHOSTHOUSE (1988)

I was gonna say 13 Ghosts, but the remake from the early 2000s.
I saw the original one is listed though.
Scrooged, the Bill Murray movie.

(https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTc2NDk3MjA1MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwMDU2NjA5._V1_.jpg)
The 1977 film was already mentioned.
Quote from: Trevor on June 01, 2025, 11:34:41 AMIn the original script and also in the novelization of THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS, the lions are portrayed as demonic manefestations of the ghosts of long dead lions killed by hunters.
While there were no rules clarified in the first post, I'm personally not including promotional tie ins, extended universes or orignal adapted content. I have to see ghosts clearly referenced in the film. If I'm outvoted so be it but that is where I stand.
QuoteIn the original script and also in the novelization of THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS, the lions are portrayed as demonic manefestations of the ghosts of long dead lions killed by hunters.
The lions in the actual movie are not portrayed as demonic manifestations or lion-ghosts. If it was in the script, they dropped that idea.
67. Sweet Home (1989)
