THE CANTERVILLE GHOST SHORT STORY REVIEW
THE CANTERVILLE GHOST
SHORT STORY REVIEW - In Oscar Wilde’s first published story, the ghost of an
English lord from the distant past, tries and fails to frighten an American
family, residing in his former mansion. The Canterville Ghost is a study in opposites,
chock full of humorous quips and witty banter, quite unlike The Picture of
Dorian Gray, more in the vein of The Importance of Being Earnest. There are
shaking chains, bleached bones, creaking floorboards and a parade of disguises.
But the ghost is frustrated by his attempt at frightening residents because
they find him comical and not scary. While old fashioned, his other works
include stage plays, and endless stream of witty quotes, which are a window
into the mind of one of the greats of English literature. Do you like classic
horror? Then do yourself a favor and read The Canterville Ghost!

THE STRANGERS: PREY AT NIGHT
The Strangers: Prey
at Night – Second in series, this 2018 film stars Christina Hendricks, featuring
a clip from Tiffany’s smash pop hit “I Think We’re Alone Now”. Kids of the 80s will remember her mall concerts. The original 2008 film, The
Strangers, stars Liv Tyler and makes another unique song choice in the country
classic "Mama Tried" by Merle Haggard. No, it wasn’t really a sequel.
I thought the original movie was better than the second, but maybe it will grow
on me over time. Worth watching? I say yes.
