November 15, 2009 Leave a Comment
M. R. James wrote classic spooky ghost stories. We now conclude our discussion of three television adaptations of stories by M. R. James. Last time, we looked at A Warning to the Curious (1972) and Casting the Runes (1979). Now, we are focusing on Whistle and I’ll Come to You (1968). We also look at some other M. R. James adaptations for television, radio and film.
