Hill House cast members Jennifer Horner, Amy Hronek, and Junius Stone prepare set flats.
“I leave before dark comes,” Mrs. Dudley reminds Hill House guest Eleanor Vance when she arrives. Based on the 1959 Gothic horror novel by Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House explores the depths of the human condition and how the power of suggestion can make one susceptible to irrational fear and paranoia.
Dr. Montague’s paranormal crew encounters numerous supernatural events that convince all present that Hill House does indeed have its own agenda. Come see how these intrepid investigators face the apparent fury of evil forces residing at Hill House. Be sure to heed Dr. Montague’s warning, “It may seem incomprehensible to you now, but a place like this…sometimes it can begin to affect you without you really being aware.”
