"This is Terry Gilliam’s classic—his best film. The music, the visuals, the fantasy, the dark surrealism. It all works to make a haunting masterpiece. A bit of trivia: the hero’s boss, H. Kurtzman, is named after Harvey Kurtzman, the originator of Mad magazine, and Terry’s boss at Help magazine."

This book wasn't at all what I was expecting. I was ready for a haunting,mysterious creepy type book this isn't what it was. The mystery element was there but not quite the haunting which was the bit I was most looking forward to. I did however find myself drawn to this book and I kept wanting to know the next thing that was going to happen so for that reason I did like it. I found myself really enjoying the characters I loved their interactions with one another and how they all have their own story to be told. I did enjoy this story it just wasn't what I was expecting.

Absolutely loved Haunting of Hill House. Watched it all in one day. A gripping, well-told storyline, with some fantastic acting from both adults and children. I am a big fan of horror with a plot and this was just perfect for that.

"Here’s a great double bill: watch this film with its haunting original score by Georges Auric, then again as a Philip Glass opera. (Thank you, Criterion, for including both tracks.) This Cocteau-Marais collaboration still intoxicates. Not since Sternberg had a director put his star (also his lover) on such luminous display."

"Agoraphobia, colonialism, trespass and gravity of sacred spaces, and a haunting portrayal of institutionalized abuse. I truly love how this film has become such a potent part of the fashion canon, via those pretty white dresses in afternoon sunlight. That golden light! And the subterranean hum in the sound design is perfect."

Book Favorite

"My favorite of Flann O’Brien’s novels, although I love At-Swim-Two-Birds. Profound, haunting, mystical and utterly hilarious. The bizarre narrative is accompanied by an eccentric parallel saga about something obscure called The De Selby Codex, a red herring that gradually grows in quantity until it all but obscures the main story."
