The haunted house
The scariest house that I have ever been was right next to my aunt 's house when I was almost 10 years old. An old lady with her cat used to live there. One day the lights went off, and you couldn’t hear any noise or see anybody. It looked like she left the house alone but no one really knew her and it was also common to see the house a few days abandoned. But this time was different and worse; it looked like she passed away but everyone was afraid to ask. No one went to the house and the only move that you could see was her black cat which used to sleep in the porch right next to the door. If you were walking and had to pass right in front of the gray and scratchy house you could feel the cat looking at you. People started to say that something was wrong in the house and it looked like haunted by the old lady.
We weren 't sure if the sound were coming from the old lady’s house, but we went anyway even though I wasn’t sure if that was the correct thing to do, but they insisted that nothing would happened if we go together and see what was going on inside. The cat wasn 't in the porch anymore. As we walked you could smell the death grass and the scary view of the naked trees. We finally got to the stairs of the porch but every step that we did sounded like broken and empty. The glass in the windows was broken and the door was scratch too. As soon as we all got to the door it opened but no one was behind. One of the children run away crying and screaming he was too afraid to go

    The night was tempestuous and my emotions were subtle, like the flame upon a torch. They blew out at the same time that my sense of tranquility dispersed, as if the winds had simply come and gone. The shrill scream of a young girl ricocheted off the walls and for a few brief seconds, it was the only sound that I could hear. It was then that the waves of turmoil commenced to crash upon me. It seemed as though every last one of my senses were succumbed to disperse from my reach completely. As everything blurred, I could just barely make out the slam of a door from somewhere alongside me and soon, the only thing that was left in its place was an ominous silence.

    The Haunting of Hill House is considered a classic to many people. It has a certain sense of feeling missing from today's novels.

At the beginning of the book, you our introduced to a character that has a major impact on all of its "guests". Hill House.

Shortly after, you are introduced to the strong yet cautious Dr. John Montague. He is a doctor of philosophy and has a new study up his sleeve. He is going to rent the "haunted" Hill House and document all that goes on. To accompany him and further the study, are three assistants. After considerable research, three patients are chosen.

    Since the release of George Melies’s The Haunted Castle in 1896, over 90,000 horror films have been made. However, none have been more frightening and influential than that of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. Each a product of horror’s 1970’s and 80’s golden era, the films have a reputation of engulfing viewers in fear, without the use of masked killers, vampires, or other clichés. Instead, Kubrick and Spielberg take a different approach and scare audiences on a psychological level. The Shining and Jaws evoke fear through the use of three different film aspects: the use of a “danger” color, daunting soundtracks, and suspenseful cinematography.
