I watched the original "The Haunting of Hill House" and found it very chilling. For years, every time I talked about certain scenes*, I would get shivers. I watched it a couple of years ago and it wasn't as scary to me. I showed it to a Grade 7 class and got mixed responses. Some kids were glued, others bored. In general, they didn't have much patience for the pace and subtlety.
*The one when the two women are in bed and the one complains about the other one holding her hand too tight. Then the lights come on (or a flash of lightening - I don't remember) and they're across the room from each other - very effective.
