okay but another thing I like about my favorite movie is the masterful melding of practical effects and CGI
it was made in 2014! they could have CGI'd way more! but instead they BUILT THIS ENTIRE JACOBEAN MANSION INTERIOR ON A SOUNDSTAGE?!
(that shot is from a deleted scene where Thomas was supposed to see one of the ghosts. no, it's never clear which one, at least in the version that got filmed and edited)
the utilities all worked. every single piece of furniture, drapery, wallpaper, artwork...that was all real and physically present in the space
the ghosts were real people in costumes, augmented with CGI afterwards for transparency and such:
(Doug Jones or Javier Botet- I forget which one -in costume as the ghost of Margaret McDermott. who died of massive head trauma, hence the greenscreen skull section)
(Tom Hiddleston in his ghost makeup/costume)
I just. hnnnnng. I love it so much in so many ways, and the fact that so much wasn't CGI- or wasn't JUST CGI at least -makes it feel so much more real, IMO

If I had a nickel for every time Tom Hiddleston played a tortured character with black hair who was better off with the light haired character who they had better chemistry but they ended up in a incestuous relationship instead then they got tragically separated from the light, her character by the end, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened
