Matheson's vivid descriptions create an almost tangible sense of dread. I'm curious whether he drew from personal fears or popular haunted house tropes.

It seemed like their pasts played a big role in how they experienced the haunting, but I wonder if that was intentional or just a storytelling device.

The story blurs the line between real evil and the characters' minds, which kept me guessing. Do others think this approach enhances the scares or dilutes them?
