🧟‍♂️ Hooptober 12 - 44/45 🧟‍♀️ “Decades: 1960s”

A visually stunning black-and-white ghost story, complete with plenty of eerie sounds and music (🎶beneath the weeping wiiiiiilllllow🎶), a couple of genuinely spooky jump scares, and two very creepy children. Deborah Kerr is fantastic as the troubled governess who is either seeing the ghosts of two very horny former members of her very wealthy employer’s staff, or haunted by her own sexual repressions, according to almost every critical think-piece written about the film and its source material, Henry James’ “The Turning of the Screw.” Personally, I think the film works a lot better as a straight-up ghost story, but I’m not here to try and argue with Truman Capote 😅 Definitely watch this one in the dark!
