I just borrowed this Val Lewton DVD box set from someone. All of the movies in it are gothics of the atmospheric and dark psychological style. Most of them have a love interest in them but are certainly not "romance" in the usual sense of the word.
http://www.amazon.com/Collection-Snatche...B000A0GOEQ There are also a couple of Hammer box sets out there and--for those who torrent--there's a huge Hammer torrent floating around with over 10 movies in it.

The Uninvited, 1944
My Cousin Rachel Experiment Perilous And then again, Dark Shadows...the original series. I can't help myself. It's always my default option!

I've mentioned "Night Gallery" before on this site. I own DVD's but if you want go on fancast.com and type in "Night Gallery" and you can watch episodes. If you only watch one episode in your life watch "THE CATERPILLAR" starring Laurence Harvey.

It is unfortunate that there aren't more strongly atmospheric Gothic movies. I'd have to add The Others (2001) to your list, which was wonderfully moody, classy, and quietly suspenseful. Nicole Kidman did a good job (channeling Grace Kelly) as the not-quite-right mother of two eccentric children. As for thinking like a Hollywood executive, the only thought on the minds of that breed is filling the movie theaters with as many 11- to 14-year-olds as possible. It has occurred to me, though, that cable TV might offer a niche for Gothics, as some kind of late-night series, for instance. Wouldn't it be fun to watch well-produced (in my fantasies, BBC-level) adaptations of Holt, Stewart, Whitney, Du Maurier, et al.? Gothics would not require big-budgets productions, just a few establishing locations, interior sets and period costumes. It would probably be a hard sell, though, as Gothics aren't sexy enough by today's standards. Oh well, we can dream.

I've seen a few episodes of Night Gallery and found them inconsistent, but I will definitely look for the one you mention.

I loved Dark shadows, the revival series! This made me DL the complete original series, which I'm keeping on the shelf till there are lots of dark and stormy nights, autumn that is.
