One of my all time favorites movies. The book is a favorite as well...one of the best openings ever... "No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone."
thank you shirley jackson. man..that lady & her stories. you can pick up any one of them & just start reading & you'll swear that it coulda been written like anytime..just weeks ago even. truly timeless.
last sunday was the one of the BEST days to stay tucked away inside & watch old favourites. it was so cold & stormy outside.
