Double Feature
The Haunting
The classic Robert Wise frightfest in 35mm! A paranormal researcher assembles a group to investigate a sinister old house with a mysterious past and, as sanity fades, they soon discover there may be truth to the haunted tales. Based on the Shirley Jackson novel The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting remains one of the scariest films of all time, featuring striking cinematography and strong performances. Plus, it’s one of the rare films of the ’60s to have bold, unmistakable lesbian undertones.
“A dark brooding atmosphere, disturbing psychological insights and a handful of suddenly executed surprises make this old horror as fresh and vital as the day it was made.” – Film4
