Friday Night Movies

I would not like to think I have torn you away from the Forum tonight- but just FYI- if you get TCM- tonight starting at 8 is a scary double feature!

The Uninvited (Ray Milland)
followed by The Haunting (of Hill House).

Yikes!
Sleeping with the lights on tonight?

Have you ever seen, "The House On Greenapple Road?"

I saw that one when it came out in '70 and it gave me the creeps.

I grew up on horror flicks but this one got to me for some reason. It's a good one. William Windom stars in it.

Kat, have you read "We Have Always Lived In The Castle," also by Shirley Jackson? It has a Kat in it too, although she is Merrykat.
I love both the movie and book versions of "The Haunting." I remember watching it as a child on "Sunday Night At The Movies". I loved more creepy things as a kid ("Dark Shadows", etc) than I do as an adult.

Yes actually. I loved Shirley Jackson in my teens! My mother got me started on Ms. Jackson!
I too loved creepy stuff when I was younger- but not now.

I think "Poltergeist" was the 3rd feature tonight- but it's a misnomer. I saw that at the movies, new, and remember popping out with "That's not poltergeist activity- this movie is misnamed!" in the audience!
I learned about that in 7th grade- in the 1960's!

BTW: How's your haunted shop and has it snowed where you are?

My favorite Shirley Jackson story is The Lottery.

Hi Tracy! Are you getting any snow?

No snow here. And the ghosts are keeping to themselves as well.

I did find an old family snaphsot that had a bit of haze in it (which I would SWEAR wasn't there before!). I emailed it to a new acquaintance that hunts ghosts, and she immediately pointed out a face in the haze!

ooooo
Do you mean a haze appeared in a photo after it was developed and sat around for a while?

Yes. I have two that I pulled out of the family album, taken in the '60s. Since I've been aware of parapsychology for a long time, I always looked for signs of ghosts in just about every photo I look at. And suddenly a sort of haze has appeared in photos that I have looked at many times.
I'll have to see if I still have the negatives.

Thank you for showing me those, Stuart!
It's not something that I can think of an explanation for!
Wow!
