Movies with Ghosts

I've made a list with zombie movies and another with vampires and thought I'd gather together the ghosts in one list. There are so many horror movies that a single list which includes all types can be intimidating, but separated by sub-genre you can better find the type of horror you prefer. Some of these films are serious horror movies, while others are comedies or films where what's suspected to be a ghost turns out to be nothing of the sort. Variety is the spice of life -even within the sub-genres. I don't include adaptations of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, even though they are ghost stories.

  2. I know this might sound random but have you seen the Lady in White? I am interested in reading or listening to the book. Something in fall about Victorian gothic is appealing. Happy Sunday. Hugs-Erika

    1. I loved Wilkie Collins' Lady in White book. I don't have a blog post on it, because it's been a long time since I last read it. You can read it online, though: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/583/583-h/583-h.htm and listen to it read to you: https://librivox.org/the-woman-in-white-by-wilkie-collins/

      There's a link in my list above to the 1988 movie.

    2. But Lady in White is a different story than Woman in White. I tend to confuse the names.

    3. So, to be clear, The Woman in White is the Wilkie Collins book. The Lady in White is based on a legend and not on the Collins book. Sometimes I comment before my brain is fully engaged lol
