I was so thrilled the other day when I noticed that one of my On Demand cable film selections this month is none other than the 1963 version of The Haunting. I tried to watch it Saturday night but started it so late I didn't quite make it through. I was much more sucessful on Sunday. I have to say, it is definately farrrrrr superior to the over the top special effects extravaganza version made a few years ago. For haunted house story fans who haven't ever seen it; this is one of THE best I've ever seen on film and I hightly recommend it. I know I'm not telling most of you anything new. [hall2_smiley]
And for those of you who enjoy semi-odd coicidences there is a kind of humorus DS connection too. It seems that the traveling afghan - the one that managed to make it into nearly every time period and storyline during the 5 year run of our favorite TV show actually made a pre-DS appearance! Yes, though the film is in B&W I would be willing to bet the tower room that what I saw hanging over the back of a chair in creepy old Hill House was nothing less than one of those colorful granny square afghans! For a minute I really thought I was seeing things! [hall2_shocked]
Any way, I just thought I'd share that with all of you and give fans of DS and The Haunting something to look for the next time you happen to see the film.
