...SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE (ABC, 9-11:15 p.m.). The Haunting (1963), an icy view of the supernatural at work in a New England mansion under investigation by a team of psychic researchers. Julie Harris, Claire Bloom and Richard Johnson are the ghost wrestlers...
...several conflicting personalities in a single character. Unafraid, Virginia Woolf was one of the pioneers of the form; in Orlando, the hero starts out as a man and winds up as woman. More recently, lohn Fowles's The Magus dealt with a girl who was possibly 1) a ghost, 2) a nymphomaniac, 3) an actress, or 4) twins.

It takes a crime for anyone to become visible in Eldritch, and the play revolves around...
...volatile tangle of will, thought, word and deed. Hamlet is also the first supremely self-conscious hero to tread the stage. This is where Richard Pasco's failure is most manifest. He portrays a computer's Hamlet, mechanically feeding himself punch cards marked Father's Ghost, Ophelia, Laertes, Horatio, Polonius, Claudius, Gertrude, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and responding mechanically to them. His co-players do not perceptibly help by acting like crumpled punch cards...
