Roxy Book Club: Which is better, the book or the movie? To find out, take the month to read this month’s Roxy Book Club selection, Shirley Jackson's horror classic The Haunting of Hill House. We’ll have a discussion about the book and its adaptation, 1963's The Haunting, after the 7:30 film screening.


Dr. John Markway, an anthropologist with an interest in psychic phenomena, takes two specially selected women to Hill House, a reportedly haunted mansion. Eleanor (Julie Harris), a lonely, eccentric woman with a supernatural event in her past, and the bold Theodora (Claire Bloom), who has ESP, join John and the mansion's heir, cynical Luke (Russ Tamblyn). They are immediately overwhelmed by strange sounds and events, and Eleanor comes to believe the house is alive and speaking directly to her.
