The Haunting (1963)

SYNOPSIS: Based on Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House". It was a house that was born bad... where the dead do not sleep quietly.
HIGHS: Nel - the affectionate term for Elanor. The Lady and the Tiger. Getting dizzy like a FOX!
LOWS: The purple parlour, in glorious black and white. Holy interior monologue Batman!
MEMORABLE LINES: Narrator "It was a house that was born bad." "The old lady died in her bed while her companion fooled around with a farm hand." Theodora "I'm Theodora. Just Theodora." Just like Madonna! "It's my name, it belongs to me!" Nel "Am I the public dump for everyone's fears?!"
