The song originated as a collaboration between Daddy G and Bristol production duo Robot Club. The result is a song that feels both dreamlike and ominous, with an unforgettable melody that will stay with you long after the last note fades away. The track features vocals by Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval over handclaps and a minimalist chord progression. Few songs are as ethereal and haunting as "Paradise Circus" by Massive Attack. ![]()

And "Stackhouse" just flowed right after it". When naming the character Harris decided to use her grandmother's best friend's name because "it was a fine old Southern nickname, I thought it would do well for my heroine.

One result of the faithful adaptation is that my original criticisms of the novel still hold. Are we in a horror film or is this psychological horror? movie watchers might ask themselves in the first thirty minutes.
