Wasn't this just a black screen with eyeballs originally?  Or am I thinking of something else on my C64?

Yup, this doesn't really look like Haunted House to me.
 
But then again, why and how would you remake Haunted House?

Think I remember the original from one of the game room QLs. Shame it's not coming to the DS or PSP as it would hold a lot more interest on a portable platform for me.

This looks like a top down version of Grabbed by the Ghoulies.  Obviously this spells success.

I've only seen videos of haunted house the original and I thought it wasn't very good I mean you get to a level where all you see are your eyes and no idea of what is happening to you.

Do you think Microsoft bought exclusive rights to have this on a 'next gen' console? Seems pretty bizarre for them to not release this on PSN.
 
Anyway, might be good. Looks like a top down, dual joystick (?) remake of a game I never played.

All things considered I think I'd prefer a remake of Mystery House.

Guy 1: "Hey guys, remember that game with the floating eyes and ghost." 
Guy 2: "Umm. No not really." 
Guy 1: "Great 'cus we're re-making it!" 
Guy 2: "But im not sure i know what game you're talking about." 
Guy 1: "HOP TO IT TEAM! We're on a Deadline" disappears in a puff of smoke 
Guy 2: "...fuck."

@Vigorousjammer: Maybe. I imagine it was on XBL from the start, though.
Don't really care anyway, game doesn't look like my thing.

@FireSketch:  I was just fixing your "next gen consoles" comment... the Xbox 720 hasn't even been announced yet.

Are they really that starved for ideas that they have to go back and remake Haunted House? 
originality anywhere? 
no? 
fine, i'll go to the independent developers then.
