It’s Hallowe’en and we need a horror movie.\u00a0 The Haunting<\/em><\/a> is one of those classic New England set pieces concocted with clam chowder loaded up with corn.\u00a0 But it works, thanks to the haunted performance of Julie Harris, and to the cinematography, which evokes uncanny effects with no special effects at all, just light and shadow.\u00a0 And sound, also sound.\u00a0 Which might just stay with you to disturb your dreams.\u00a0 Martin Scorcese calls it the scariest movie<\/a> he’s ever seen.<\/p>\n

One caveat, however — the music is of the sort that Frye would have hated: all burps and blops<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here he is in Fearful Symmetry<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Art protects us against nature: it would be impossible to find pleasure in tragedy or laugh at many of the predicaments of comedy if we did not feel this protection.\u00a0 In nature there is misery, in art tragedy; in nature there is mysterious evil, in art ghost stories.\u00a0 (CW <\/em>14, 262)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
