Cut off from the outside world by its remote location and shunned by all who know its forbidding and sinister reputation, Hill House has remained empty and silent except for the daily visits of its grumbling caretaker, Mrs. Dudley. Its isolation is broken by the arrival of Dr. Montague, an investigator of supernatural phenomena who has been granted a short lease by the present owner. His mission is to delve into the morbid history of the house and to come to grips with the occult forces that have made it uninhabitable for many years. He is joined by three others, all unacquainted, but all having their particular reasons for accepting Dr. Montague's invitation to share his Hill House sojourn. Their visit begins with jovial informality, but their sensibilities are soon jolted by strange and eerie occurrences. As they struggle to disguise their mounting fears they are joined by Dr. Montague's wife and a friend, who have come to Hill House for purposes of their own. They too are absorbed by the supernatural, but their approach is via direct communication with the departed spirits—a type of psychic research which is regarded fearfully by Dr. Montague and which, as subsequent events bear out, brings on a crisis in which the evil forces of Hill House are goaded to a new and, for one of those present, fatal fury.
F. Andrew Leslie’s dramatization of Shirley Jackson’s thrilling novel of the same name brings the story of Hill House and all its ghosts to theatrical life for the first time. In its spine-chilling story, an anthropologist conducts an unusual research project in a notorious haunted house, bringing a crisis in which the supernatural forces of the remote site reawaken.

“Delivers far more in the way of dramatic psychological stage terror than the jump scares from a trip through a Halloween spook house ever could.” – WMUK
“F. Andrew Leslie’s script remains fairly faithful to the novel, gradually building a sense of dread… The story itself is full of silence and ellipses; the first scare happens offstage, and is only described, allowing audience imaginations to create their own picture.” – MD Theatre Guide
“A delightfully creepy night out… You will leave the theater and check behind your shoulder one last time … just in case.” – Pueblo Star Journal
