Paperhouse is a 1988 British dark fantasy film directed by Bernard Rose. It was based on the 1958 novel Marianne Dreams by Catherine Storr. The film stars Ben Cross, Glenne Headly and Gemma Jones. The original novel was the basis of a six-episode British TV series for children in the early 1970s which was titled Escape Into Night.

While suffering from glandular fever, 11-year-old Anna Madden draws a house. When she falls asleep, she has disturbing dreams in which she finds herself inside the house she has drawn. After she draws a face at the window, in her next dream she finds Marc, a boy who suffers with muscular dystrophy, living in the house. She learns from her doctor that Marc is a real person.

Anna sketches her father into the drawing so that he can help carry Marc away, but she inadvertently gives him an angry expression which she then crosses out, and the father (who has been away a lot and has a drinking problem, putting a strain on his marriage) appears in the dream as a furious, blinded ogre. Anna and Marc defeat the monster and shortly afterward Anna recovers, although the doctor reveals that Marc's condition is deteriorating.

Anna's father returns home and both parents seem determined to get over their marital difficulties. The family goes on holiday by the sea, where Anna finds an epilogue to her dream.

Charlotte Burke - Anna Madden, Ben Cross - Dad, Glenne Headly - Kate Madden, Elliott Spiers - Marc, Gemma Jones - Dr. Sarah Nichols, Jane Bertish - Miss Vanstone, Samantha Cahill - Sharon, Sarah Newbold - Karen.

Marianne Dreams is a children's fantasy novel by Catherine Storr. It was illustrated with drawings by Marjorie-Ann Watts and published by Faber and Faber in 1958. The first paperback edition, from Puffin Books in 1964, is catalogued by the Library of Congress as revised.

Marianne is a young girl who is bedridden with a long-term illness. She draws a picture to fill her time and finds that she spends her dreams within the picture she has drawn. As time goes by, she becomes sicker, and starts to spend more and more time trapped within her fantasy world, and her attempts to make things better by adding to and crossing out things in the drawing make things progressively worse. Her only companion in her dreamworld is a boy called Mark, who is also a long-term invalid in the real world.

How to Make a Paper House: Fun and Easy DIY Project

If you're looking for a fun and easy DIY project, making a paper house is a great option. Not only is it a great activity for both kids and adults, but the end result can be a unique decoration for your home or office.

To get started, you'll need just a few simple materials: paper, glue, and scissors. You can use any type of paper you have on hand, whether it's plain white printer paper or colorful construction paper.

First, prepare your paper by cutting it into squares. You'll need four squares of the same size to create each side of your paper house.

Next, fold each square in half diagonally to create a triangle, then fold each corner of the triangle to meet at the center crease. Unfold the corners and cut along the fold line to create flaps. These flaps will be used to attach the sides of your house together.

Now, it's time to start creating the structure of your house. Take one of your folded squares and apply glue to one of the flaps. Attach it to the flap of another square to create a corner of your house. Repeat this process with the remaining squares to create the other three corners of your house.

Once you've attached all four squares together, your paper house will start to take shape. You can add a roof by cutting a rectangle of paper and folding it in half, then attaching it to the top of your house with glue.

Finally, you can add some finishing touches to your paper house by decorating it with markers, stickers, or other craft supplies. You can also create multiple paper houses and arrange them together to create a small paper village.

Making a paper house is a fun and easy way to get creative and create something unique. Whether you're looking for a fun activity to do with your kids or a unique decoration for your home, give it a try!

Obligatory note that media is not beholden to a single genre, and many films/tv/books encapsulate many different genres. The point of these polls is to ask "would you consider this to be under the umbrella of horror, based on your own definition of the genre?". Please elaborate on your opinions in the tags!

Babadook was really the canary in the coal mine for critical thinking, especially in horror. Like the number of people who didn’t like that it worked as a metaphor were the harbingers of what was to come in terms of reading comprehension in western society. Imagine watching Babadook and thinking it was the first movie to use metaphor in horror.
