That moment when you just realized you’ve slept with a rat<\/strong>! And you liked his hairless tail.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

The House in Marsh Road<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (1960) introduces poltergeist<\/em> to the viewing public. Cad David Linton and his wife, Jean, make a habit of taking lodgings and not paying for them while David writes his book, hoping to become a big-time author. Jean loathes this lifestyle, and when

And a poltergeist.<\/p>\n
