In perusing Movie-List's Horror-Thon, I eventually surfed my way over to Roger Ebert's review of Hellraiser:
The house is purchased by the Cottons, Larry and Julia, who move in with their daughter, Kirsty. This is some house. The kitchen sink is full of maggots devouring rotting flesh. Isn't the real estate agent supposed to tidy up details like that? But the Cottons buy the house anyway, maybe because there is no love in their marriage, and so this cheerless house seems like the ideal venue for decades of silent suffering and wordless blame.
I'll stick with my original Halloween picks this year: The Haunting and Night of the Living Dead.
Which version of The Haunting?
1963. Good?
Thr original Haunting rocks! The remake sucks!
Considered a classic by tons of people. I think at this point I may be the lone person on the planet who prefers the 1999 version. I'm eager to hear what you think of the earlier one.
Ah yes, I remember that Owen Wilson scene well.
