SUMMARY:The Haunting – Classic Movie Night 2024
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a fright! Oswego County Historical Society is once again hosting our Classic Movie Night\, this time with the 1963 film The Haunting based on Shirley Jackson’s masterpiece “The Haunting of Hill House.” Tickets are now available to purchase in-person at the Richardson-Bates House Museum\, River’s End Bookstore\, and Oswego Cinema 7 for $20! \n\n\n\nWidely regarded as the best haunted house film ever made\, The Haunting features a team of investigators who decide to stay at Hill House to uncover its secrets. The film starts out with a sense of dread\, which increases throughout the film. Once begun\, the atmosphere of palpable horror never lets up and keeps the viewer entranced until the surprising ending. \n\n\n\nThe film stars the distinguished actresses Julie Harris and Claire Bloom\, who are faultless in their roles and keep the audience feeling their increasing sense of unease as the story develops. This is a perfect film for the Halloween season\, so you won’t want to miss seeing it on the large screen.
