Big Dark House

We are spending the day watching movies.
The first three today were horror in big dark houses.
We watched them in order from newest to oldest.

The Others (2001) - starring Nicole Kidman
I thought it was fairly predictable yet still a good movie.
The only thing I did not totally understand -
was why the dad did not stay once he was reunited.

The Haunting (1963) - starring Julie Harris
Pretty awesome when you consider it was
a black and white independent movie.
Of note: Russ Tamblyn played the nephew

The Spiral Staircase (1945) - starring a mute!!! -
at least Dorothy McGuire was until the very end.
It's a psychological thriller which includes mystery.
Of note: Ethel Barrymore and Elsa Lanchester

After dinner we are headed in a different direction.
Some fantasy and romance and comedy. Oh my!!!
Stay tuned to see what we watch next.
