New adventures in the spirit of the old

Psion

In the stack of things I am prepping for review is "Crypt of the Devil Lich", and adventure said to be somewhat "in the spirit of Tomb of Horrors" (I think it's better than ToH, BID).

But of 3e adventures (d20 or official), there are a great variety of classic adventures they might capture the feel of. I hear the Tomb of Horrors comparison a lot (much to my chagrin), but do any published adventures out there supposedly capture the feel of White Plume Mountain? Lost City? Dead Gods? Undermountain? Isle of Dread? Vault of the Drow? [insert your own favorite classic module here]. What do you think?

Tomb of Abysthor and Rappan Athuk come to mind.

Tomb reminds me a bit of G2, G3, and D1-2 (with a little S4 thrown in), and Rappan Athuk is similar, albeit on a much larger scale.
 

"Crucible of Freya" felt a little like "The Village of Hommlet" to me. A starting location with dungeon nearby, and some plothooks that a DM could either follow into a megadungeon or flesh out with custom stuff. I'm going to guess this was not coincidental.
