Why in the world would anyone want to rent a huge, creepy old house AND agree to cook for an old woman whom they've never even met, let alone seen?!?

I happen to agree with the idea that it's silly to assume you wouldn't make the same mistakes if you were the people in the film. That's pretentious. A little suspension of belief is important because we might behave very similar to Karen Black and Oliver Reed in reality. However, I REALLY think ... I mean I REALLY think I know myself enough ... to know that the second Eileen Eckert told me or my wife that her aged mother lives upstairs and that we would be responsible for placing three meals a day in her sitting room for her to eat unseen, I'd be out of there. Reed is suspicious and wants to sack the whole idea. In reality, the idea would be sacked, but then there would be no movie!

shareHaha, MovieFanGal, it appears the last comment on this thread was from 14 years ago from Fargo_North! So when I left my post, I didn't think I was going to hear back from anyone for a very long time. Seeing one three minutes later, I had to see if you were Fargo_North or one of the other posters from a decade(s) ago! That would be like something out of Burnt Offerings if no matter how much time went by the original poster(s) responded as soon as a new reply was entered!
share🤣 Nothing supernatural going on. More like coincidental.
