The Haunting: Difference between revisions

* [[Creepy Housekeeper]]: Mrs. Dudley who makes sure to remember the guests that she lives miles away from the house, that there won't be anyone around if they need help, no one will hear them if they scream and then [[The Un-Smile|unsmiles]].

* [[Crusty Caretaker]]: Mr. Dudley

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: One of the past owners of the house hanged herself. {{spoiler|Nell}} may qualify too.

* [[Evil Is Deathly Cold]]: The air around the nursery is terribly cold, Dr. Markway says it's the heart of the house.

* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]

* [[Only One Name]]: Theo

* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]

* [[Psychic Powers]]: Theo is an Esper and it shows, subtly.

* [[Adaptation Explanation Extrication]]: Eleanor shouts, "Who was holding my hand?" in homage to one of the original's creepiest moments. Problem is, the context is completely different and there's absolutely no reason for her to be saying it, although the circumstances could imply [[Nightmare Fuel|it was Hugh Crain doing so]].

* [[Badass Boast]]:

* [[Bi the Way]]: In the original, there's a ''vague'' sense of [[Les Yay]] between the two female leads. The original had [[Values Dissonance|good reason]] to keep it purely subtext, but times change.. In the remake, Theo is openly bisexual and [[Polyamory|polyamorous]], casually mentioning as one of her first lines that she has both a boyfriend and a girlfriend. During the rest of the story, she keeps making overt but benevolent and rather chivalrous attempts to seduce Nell. This may have been helped along by the fact that right after first resisting her advances, the first thing Nell does is show her her bedroom...

* [[Blank Slate]]: Nell again, and [[Shout-Out|referenced]] by Theo when she calls her a blank canvas: "I could paint your portrait right on you..."
