Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within.

This website serves as an interactive essay. I have included every video, article, or piece of art that has inspired me over the years when I’ve been planning and preparing to discuss the topic of the house, and as such the content on this website has mostly been created by others. Only the words that are not referenced or credited, are my own.

If you find that a link doesn’t work, or you believe something hasn’t been credited accurately or at all, let me know using the letterbox. There is a fine line between inspiration and plagiarism and I want to do everything I can to avoid the latter.

Thank you.

When I haven’t watched any horror movies in a while, I miss them. And what I miss most is a red light shining from a dark window.

Forests at midnight with unspeakable things in the trees. Tense breaths from those hidden, under the table, behind the door. Of course I love the loud, screaming, crashing climaxes, the frenetic energy of music, the chases and fights and action.

But when I think about horror I think about stillness.

I think about an empty house.
