Is the house haunted? Or is Kim the architect cursed? Every devil-made-me-do-it trick in the book-but with this character-less cast, it's more chi-chi than chill-chill. The TV suddenly starts showing films of helicopter deaths in Nam, and she's doubly zapped when her boozing hubby is found enjoying a neighbor lady right on the livingroom couch in broad daylight! Meanwhile, Kim tries to rape Colquitt in The House. As family after family finds their greatest weaknesses exploited by a house that appears almost sentient, the cracks threaten to shatter the entire neighborhood’s peace. Anita is catatonic but recovering from her son's death in Vietnam her husband is a two-timing drunkard. The story walks that skillful line of truth so well-received in horror: we think the house is evil but perhaps our narrator is just a bit mad. And then the ghastly housewarming, with Pie's father having a fatal stroke when he walks in on Buddy and a boy-friend locked in a shameless naked embrace. And various neighborhood animals get similar treatment. Then comes the horrible abortion, with Pie's fetus found pulped in the cellar. And Kim Dougherty, their spanking fresh young architect, is hanging around and overseeing this house, his all-consuming piece de resistance. The House Next Door: Anne Rivers Siddons, Stephen King (Signed by Both, Limited) Item Information.
The new folks moving in are the swank Harralsons, Buddy and pregnant Pie. In a nameless Southern town, modish Colquitt and Walter Kennedy are snug in their pretty, pretty house when the lot on the ridge out back is sold, ravaged, and a new knockout place goes up. The Amityville Horror marries The Stepford Wives and produces a haunted house packed with plasticine people.
