Susan Hill’s classic ghost story, The Woman in Black, is now a major motion picture starring Daniel Radcliffe. The chilling tale of a menacing specter haunting a small English town, The Woman in Black is sure to spook readers and moviegoers alike. Radcliffe plays Arthur Kipps, a London lawyer who finds himself haunted by a series of mysterious sounds and images—a rocking chair in a deserted nursery, the eerie sound of a pony and trap, a child’s scream in the fog, and, most terrifying of all, a ghostly woman dressed all in black. Below, watch video of The Woman in Black cast and creative team discussing this eerie tale.
