Comparing every version of The Woman In Black

The Woman In Black is a brilliantly creepy ghost story, but there are four different versions with four different endings. Which ending is your favourite – the book, the play, the 1989 TV film, or the 2012 theatrical film starring Daniel Radcliffe? I think my favourite is probably the 2012 film, but that was also the first one I saw! 00:00 Introduction 01:21 The story 05:41 The time period 13:03 Mourning dress 20:15 The book 23:01 The play 24:51 The 1989 TV film 27:44 The 2012 film 36:36 Loki!
