Shirley Jackson is known for her psychological tension. While not your typical devil possessed haunting, Hill House kind of well....gaslights the guests. Poor Eleanor.
Eleanor: Does anyone smell that?
HH: you farted and are a stinky ugly witch...
Eleanor: What? Is that the house? Have you been writing in blood on the walls?
HH:...no, you did that... everyone thinks you are on your period.....
Eleanor: It says "I Like Beer."
HH:....who doesn't?...woooo-wooooo.
Eleanor: Well then, how do you explain the dick pics?
HH: (spooky chuckle)...woooooo--whoooo did you like what you saw? wooo
Eleanor: No, I did not. In fact I'm going to give you a terrible review on Air B&B.
HH: Booo!!Booo!! No one will believe you...
Eleanor: Well. You have a reputation as being haunted.
HH: Faaake Neeeews.
Maybe we'll not drink beer with this one. Let's make punch for a crowd that is called, and I kid you not: A Touch of Evil Punch: 4 lemons, 3/4 sugar, 1/2 cup raspberries, 3/4 lemon juice, 2 1/2 cups gin, 1/2 cup mezcal. Make an ice block the day before and while you are at it, infuse that sugar with lemon peel oil in a jar. Muddle the raspberries and peel-sugar and add the lemon juice. Strain and add the alcohol and put in the fridge. Put this mix, a liter of sparkling water and the ice block. If the house starts talking to you then stop.
