Welcome to episode 46 of The Horror Double Bill, the podcast where each week we pair two movies to create something greater than the sum of their parts.

This week we are back with haunted houses, classic ghost stories, and more than a little ambiguity, with one film based on a novella by Henry James and the other based on a novel by Peter Straub.

First up, we have The Innocents from 1961, directed by Jack Clayton. This stars Deborah Kerr, Megs Jenkins, Martin Stephens, and Pamela Franklin.

Then we jump forward to 1977 for Full Circle, which was released in the US as The Haunting of Julia. This was directed by Richard Loncraine and stars Mia Farrow, Keir Dullea, Tom Conti, and Jill Bennett.
