Thank You Robert Wise

Just watched half of the old 1963 film 'The Haunting', directed by Robert Wise. Wasn't really watching (I was trying to do some drawing at the same time). Andy was out and I was alone in the flat. What people say about the film is true. It is incredibly atmospheric, and seemed to infect the flat with a curious air of expectancy. As I said, I wasn't really watching it, just soaking up the ambience. I am about to go to sleep, and I'll just be thinking about what would happen if I awoke to the sound of banging somewhere in the unseen night-rooms of this flat...
