Definately go see the old one. It has all the great movie elements you need for a haunt: the conflicted and crazed artist, murder, revenge, and whole museum of creepy statues depicting violent crime. Its great!
Oh, and just to clear the air, I think you should see all the originals. It seems like over the past few years there have been a lot of remakes of classic horror movies. And most of the ones I've seen are not nearly as good. I'm sure I'll miss some, but I would start with:
The Haunting (1963, black and white, and just like the book--that's where my avatar and signiture quote came from.)
The House on Haunted Hill (1959,another Vincent Price classic, plus a lady gets boiled in acid--classic.)
13 Ghosts (1960.a little hoaky, but still kind of fun--oh and in the theater you needed special glasses to see the ghosts!)
---And my brain just drew a blank....I know there are lots more; I'm sure that people in the forum here will give you some suggestions.
