History Literature / TheTurnOfTheScrew

** A 2022 New Zealand production that tells the tale of a ''stage'' production of ''The Turn of the Screw''. It focuses on Julia, a young actress who is called in at the last second to replace another actress who has had a mysterious nervous breakdown. Julia flies in to participate in a crash dress rehearsal the night before the premiere.

The novella has inspired numerous film, television, stage, and even ballet adaptations, as well as {{sequel}}s and the occasional PerspectiveFlip. Of these, the best-known are the film ''Film/TheInnocents'' (based on a Broadway play that was itself an adaptation of ''The Turn of the Screw'') and Benjamin Britten's {{opera}}. The novel was adapted to a TV series as the follow-up to ''Series/TheHauntingOfHillHouse2018'' as ''Series/TheHauntingOfBlyManor'' and received another movie adaptation in 2020 called ''Film/TheTurning''.

** A 2015 BBC adaptation starring Creator/MichelleDockery as the governess. Surprisingly disappointing, although it makes one wonder how [[Literature/{{Hogfather}} Susan Sto Helit]] would have fared against Peter Quint.

* DaylightHorror: Most of the ghost sightings occur when there is still light outside.

* AllFirstPersonNarratorsWriteLikeNovelists: The governess is the youngest daughter of a poor country parson, so you would think that she would have an education, and therefore a writing style, to match. But Creator/HenryJames is in typical, full blown SesquipedlianLoquaciousness mode here.
