Horror's Greatest Hits
Marta asked this question about The Haunting of Hill House:
Why do you think Theo was so mean to Eleanor? It seemed to me as if she was always laughing at her and making fun of her but I don't know why. Was she simply that way? Was the house making her be like that? (don't think so but hey, there's a possibility)

I think there was also subtly a thing about Theo's jealousy at Eleanor talking privately with Luke. The story mentions Luke telling Eleanor a secret that he never had a mother, and later Theo uses this line mockingly to show that he has already told the same to her.

Later with Theo private going off with Luke, it seems like it was just the beginnings of Bachelor-style girl-drama.(less)
