TCM Schedule for Monday November 12- TCM Spolight: Great Adaptations (Original Post)

(40,416 posts)1. "The Haunting" is great!
Tremendous adaptation of Shirley Jackson's psychological novel, The Haunting of Hill House.
No 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 so 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.
The Haunting of Hill House, opening paragraph. Shirley Jackson
The Haunting of Hill House, opening paragraph. Shirley Jackson
A hearty recommendation. Catch Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell) in a supporting role. Julie Hartis and Claire Bloom are outstanding.
