Was anyone else subjected to the short film #TheLottery based on the story by #ShirleyJackson in elementary school? I remember my class watching it once a year for several years, starting in the 4th or 5th grade, and was pretty scarred by it for life.
I found it on YouTube and wondered how it held up. I think this answers that.
🖤 It's The Supreme Shirley Jackson's birthday!! 🖤
Happy Birthday, Shirley, and thank you for your wise, witchy, wondrous Words that have literally changed my life.
