The movie that you were mentioning where the girl goes through the wall sounds like Coraline (2009). This was directed by Henry Selick, although the feel is quite similar to a lot of Tim Burton’s work. The film is actually adapted from a book by Neil Gaiman. Gaiman helped adapt the book for film. Although I have not read the book, I understand that they made some changes to “make it work”, notably the introduction of Wybie. I think that the film is brilliant, and the amount of work required to produce it by stop-motion animation is staggering.

Wanted to mention my favorite films from my youth, the Amicus Studios Horror Anthologies. I have fond memories of films like “Asylum” and “The House That Dripped Blood”. I can remember my parents taking myself and a friend and dropping us off at the movie theater. This was back in the mid seventies, when theaters had special Saturday morning and afternoon double features. Hard to remember a day without DVDs and streaming video at our fingertips.

In addition the Daniel Radcliffe film, there is another film version of ‘The Woman in Black’ that is worth watching, from 1989, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woman_in_Black_(1989_film). It was adapted by Nigel Kneale (Quatermass, etc.)

My favorite Halloween was 8th grade. Returning from a Halloween party I heard some old radio show in the car, spent til midnight listening to them, then read Algernon Blackwood’s “The Willows” for the first time in the wee hours. I was glad to have my dog for company that night!
