I only found a trailer for The Changeling (1980).
The Changeling is a 1980 horror film directed by Peter Medak and starring George C. Scott and Trish Van Devere (Scott’s real-life wife). The story is based upon events experienced by writer Russell Hunter while he was living in the Henry Treat Rogers Mansion of Denver, Colorado.
Scott stars as Dr. John Russell, a composer living in New York City, who moves cross-country to Washington State following the tragic deaths of his wife and daughter in a traffic accident while on a winter vacation in upstate New York. In suburban Seattle, Russell rents a large, old, and eerie-looking Victorian-era mansion and begins piecing his life back together. However, Dr. Russell soon discovers that he has unexpected company in his new home when the ghost of a long murdered child haunts the house, shattering windows, abruptly opening and shutting doors, and manifesting itself during a seance. Russell investigates and finds that the mystery is linked to a powerful local family, the heir of whom is a wealthy US senator.
3 songs that seem to go hand in hand (but only in this order)
1. The first song you have to listen to – to get this weird music chain that I
discovered earlier today, is Iggy Pop song In The Death Car
(Soundtrack from the 1993 Emir Kusturica movie Arizona Dream)…
2. Now listen to Strange with Grace Jones, featured in
Polanski film Frantic (1988)…
3. And it seem to blend well with this summer hit from 1989 – Kaoma’s
Lambada, even though it’s much more uptempo, doesn’t it?
A weird music chain. Indeed.

My favourite ghost scene from The Innocents (1961) – with Deborah Kerr.
The Innocents is a 1961 horror film based on the novella The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. Directed and produced by Jack Clayton, it stars Deborah Kerr, Michael Redgrave and Megs Jenkins. Falling into the subgenre of psychological horror, the film makes use of its lighting, music, and direction for its effect rather than gore and shock factor. Its atmospheric feel was achieved by Academy Award winning cinematographer Freddie Francis, who employed deep focus in many scenes, as well as bold, minimal lighting. It was filmed on location at the gothic mansion of Sheffield Park in East Sussex. The film marked the first film role for child actor Pamela Franklin.
