crumbargento:Burnt Offerings - Dan Curtis - 1976 - USAI always pay attention to portraits in horror films#especially in ghost stories#because ghost stories are always— always— about trauma & grief#grief and trauma are always about dealing with the past— whether it is the past event that haunts the present#the past loved one that haunts the one they left#or someone who died in a violent death and cannot rest#when the camera falls on a portrait or a character looks at one#they are confronting the past that still has a grip (tight as death) on the present (via @bluebeardsbride) -- source link
