I haven’t seen that movie in . . . what, four decades? I may need to refresh my memory.
gaslighting someone is convincing them they are hallucinating when in fact they are in real danger
Now, if you’d step into the kitchen here, I’ll help solve all your fears so that you’ll never be afraid of anything ever again.
The couch has no indentation because for once this is where there is too much stuffing.

Gaslighting is an attempt at control, whereby someone gets you to question your sanity…
and come to rely on his or her version of reality, where you are no longer capable.
It doesn’t necessarily involve physical danger…. unless the person trying to control you intends any harm…
But it can give you a false sense of insecurity, and a belief that your controller is protecting you.
That movie (and play) title is the origination of the term…
in it, the husband manipulates the gas lights and also talks loudly in the attic…
then denies that the lights dim or that voices come from upstairs, to make his wife think she’s losing her mind.
He intends to have her committed, and steal her property.
The turkey’s real fear, however, isn’t actually gas-lighting, but lit gas.
