the 1973 movie which was made from the book, but I have listened to a few podcasts about the differences between the book and the movie, much like I did when I wrote about Richard Matheson's book 'What Dreams May Come' -
What I find interesting about Matheson writing 'Hell House' was that in a 2011 interview Richard said every novel he has written was usually modeled off the house that he was living in at the time, all except 'Hell House' where he modeled the house in that story offI also found it interesting when I watched the movie

'The Life After Death Project' produced by Whitley Strieber's late wife Anne and featuring an interview with Richard Matheson, that Whitley also mentions his book 'Communion'.
The sequel to that book was read in an audio book version by
Roddy McDowall, who also starred in 'The Legend of Hell House':-)
Who said that everything in life and death isn't connected in some spooky way?-)

At one time owning all of Orson Welles’ films on DVD, I hadn’t heard about Mank (Netflix) so cheers for that. Hell House is on Prime so another one to watch, do you think?
ReplyDeleteI only watched 'Mank' because it's one of the movies up for a 2021 "Best Picture" Oscar.
DeleteIt's pretty good, too.
It's only on Prime to rent for A$4.99, not on the normal service.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie, and by the looks of the trailer and what I've heard about it I won't be forking over 5 bucks to watch it.
Surely it's on You Tube for free somewhere?
