The Haunting of Hill House is a seminal work in the horror genre, considered one of the finest ghost stories of the 20th century.

Dr. Montague, seeking to find scientific evidence of the supernatural, rents Hill House for a summer and invites guests with past experiences of paranormal events. Eleanor and Theodora are among those who accept his invitation.
