I confess I've never read the book, but I think I'm gonna have to borrow it from our local library. I loved the film THE HAUNTING; Julie Harris broke my heart, she was so good. But don't get me started on the ridiculous remake! Lili Taylor was terrific, but otherwise it felt like a amusement park ride in a BAD way!DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969235851384102162.post-39234950438672418792011-10-07T18:23:35.759-04:002011-10-07T18:23:35.759-04:00YVETTE-love the remark about Julie Harris' toe...YVETTE-love the remark about Julie Harris' toenails! That movie scared me to death. So did the book, reading it alone at night! Don't you remember Russ Tamblyn in it-he was so funny, played Luke, always the disbeliever (until things really got going!) I LOVE The Uninvited - just watched it the other night! One of my favorites!<br />CW-I'm really glad you liked the review. It's weird reading your first attempt - I haven't looked back at it for quite a long time. I'm glad to have come to this place, meeting friends like you...ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969235851384102162.post-18391360743799285402011-10-07T18:03:15.870-04:002011-10-07T18:03:15.870-04:00What a wonderful idea to go back in time, and equa...What a wonderful idea to go back in time, and equally wonderful to find a timeless review of a classic story.<br /><br />I am happy to hear of the journey that brought you to this place.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969235851384102162.post-34837852707215825072011-10-07T16:50:19.823-04:002011-10-07T16:50:19.823-04:00Time flies when you're having fun, Beck.

That's for sure. :)<br /><br />And what's more fun than blogging about things you love?<br /><br />Well, I could name a couple of things, but let's not go there.<br /><br />Loved reading about this movie that I saw so many many years ago. I only remember Julie Harris and her painted toe nailes going up the stairs. Ha!<br /><br />Russ Tamblyn? <br /><br />Don't know if I have the fortitude to watch this again. But I might read the book.<br /><br />I'm watching THE UNINVITED this year for Halloween. My favorite ghost story because it doesn't give me a heart attack. :)Yvettehttp://yvettecandraw.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969235851384102162.post-91702017780528922692011-10-07T11:25:08.497-04:002011-10-07T11:25:08.497-04:00Hi Lobosc!

We owe a lot to Rick. <br /><br />I don't like a lot of horror, especially when it comes to books, but The Haunting is really creepy.

I am definitely getting a hold of a copy to read for the Halloween season. Sounds like one of those books that puts your senses on edge, where you swear you see things in the shadows. Who knows, maybe there were things in the shadows all along and we just need a priming to be made aware :0Frankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15247863843072247520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969235851384102162.post-35631372412230637852009-10-13T15:58:59.535-04:002009-10-13T15:58:59.535-04:00BEcky: You know this is one movie I cannot and wi...BEcky: You know this is one movie I cannot and will never watch alone. The only other movie that had such an impact was Sixth Sense esp. the scene where something runs down the hall when the kid's in the bathroom! And the book that scared me out of my wits was The Amityville Horror when the voice said "GET OUT!" Good site! Fun to read! <br><br>AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
