The Haunting of Hill House influenced Hell House

The evidence
Richard Matheson admired The Haunting of Hill House and took its premise for Hell House: a small team, a scientist and psychics among them, moving into a notorious mansion to study it. He has said he wanted to give that story the definite ending he felt Jackson's lacked.
