“Sometimes you need to do something bad to stop you from doing something worse.”
Melanie R. Anderson, Shirley Jackson: Influences and Confluences
That may seem like a letdown to modern horror readers (show us the bloody corpse, please), but Radcliffe’s choice was intentional. Ghosts are spooky, but the true threat was one she saw in the real world: men who were willing to abuse women in order to gain wealth.

Patriarchy and greed. They’ll get you every time, no supernatural phenomenon required.
