Is that based on ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ by Shirley Jackson? I have read that novel a dozen times and never tire of it.

I also read, ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’ (also by Jackson) time and again. An absolutely wonderful study in madness. I think of Constance and ‘Merricat’ quite often. ;)

I love The Haunting of Hill House, too. I love the movie, but I wish that it included the outside scenes of the written story.

The movie's remake was ok, but it couldn't touch the first movie or the book.

I didn't get so much out of We Have Always Lived at the Castle. It's been a long time; but I remember that there was more description and fewer events than I needed to keep hooked. Maybe I'll have to try it again.
