shadowkatPick a Horror Novel or Film from the Decade You Were Born
This is actually the version of Turn of the Screw that I read in High School - I read the adaptation written by Truman Capote and William Archibald. (I've never made it through a novel by Henry James. I think I agree with Mark Twain - who sunk the "Henry James" in Huckleberry Finn. Of course it could be a mood thing?)
I also saw the film. It's a creepy psychological horror story - similar to the Haunting of Hill House, which may explain why they chose to do a television adaptation of it. Although the original is better - in that it doesn't romanticize the ghosts, nor does complicate it. It's simpler.
