Julie Harris & Richard Johnson in The Haunting (1963, dir. Robert Wise) “It was a house without kindness, never meant to be lived in, not a fit place for people or for love or for hope. Exorcism cannot alter the countenance of a house; Hill House would stay as it was until it was destroyed.” - Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House (1959)
