MY READING LIST (stuff I've read, with links to any reviews/notes):
- The Suicide House. Charlie Donlea
- Agatha Raisin and the Murderous Marriage (Agatha Raisin #5). M.C. Beaton
- Snow (St. John Strafford #1). John Banville
- The Talented Miss Farwell. Emily Gray Tedrowe
MY WATCH LIST, Part 1 (Movies):
- "The Haunting" (1963) - The original version, directed by Robert Wise; starring Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, Russ Tamblyn, Lois Maxwell, and Rosalie Crutchley. A classic and probably my favorite spooky movie -- I rewatch this one just about every October.
- "Island of Terror" (1966) - Above-average creature feature, directed by Terence Fisher; starring Peter Cushing and Edward Judd. Very watchable.
