The Cat and the Canary (1927) - the gold standard for a haunted house movie, one of my favorite silent films. Director Paul Leni brings German expressionism to Hollywood, an excellent concoction. Slightly more title cards than you'd like, but altogether enjoyable even to someone who isn't a silent film buff.
The House on Haunted Hill (1959) - somehow feels even more antiquated than The Cat and the Canary even though it's come out 30 years later. Purposefully campy and goofy, and yet still offers some genuinely creepy moments.
