Yeah, I agree that that was the scariest part of the book (movie, too). Overall, I thought the movie was actually
scarier than the book, because it didn't spell out the alternate explanations for events, like steam pipes banging (which do indeed sound just like that one scene).
So, it's not
Hill House, but at nine years old
The Hound of the Baskervilles was the scariest, up until a few weeks later when I read Lovecraft's
The Rats in the Walls, which still holds up as the more scary, but is only a short story.
