i like this movie and it give me the heebie jeebies when i first saw it . ( i spook easily ) it have the classic element of a good old fashion southern ghost story . throw in a little voo doo and a new orleans cemetery and it doesn not get much well . however and have recently see hush and hush sweet charlotte with olivia dehavilland and bette davis and there be certain element that be brazen ripoffs from the dehaviland or davis work . make me think less of the more recent of these two film . odd and eerie see ms. dehavilland play such an ugly and selfish and mean character . she will always be melanie wilkes in my mind . it take me a minute to recognize agnes moorehead a velma . she look completely different from her role a endora on bewitch .
