(40,416 posts)I was in Jr. High School. A friend and I drove our bikes to the local theater, about two miles away from home. The ride home after dark was really, really scary. I don't think I slept that night.
It is still one of my favorite flicks. The book is awesome as well.
Here is something to remind you:
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
(The beginning of Shirley Jackson's novel.)
