The Haunting (1963)

#1 by Lincoln Thorn , Fri Apr 05, 2024 1:13 am

Greetings all!

I'm trying to be better about getting active in the film forums. Some might know me from the 8mm forum film tech site where I hang out a lot as well!

On to brass tax as they say - I thought I'd get back in the groove by asking whether The Haunting by Robert Wise ever made it onto Super 8 film? It's a wonderful picture and I'd love to find a copy if it's out there.

Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Lincoln

Lincoln, it's good to see another name joining in here,
The Haunting is an excellent movie from Robert Wise but unless I'm wrong, I dont think it has appeared on super 8. It's one I'd like to have as well, I did miss a 16mm copy some time ago but it did sell for a lot of money.
As I understand it, this was to be a 600ft edit from Dave films but It didn't materialise, possibly due to lack of support, (I think).

16 and scope, nice one, and that is the way to see this movie, it loses all impact on TV no matter how big the TV is.
