From the director of Lake Placid and Warlock come this comedic, horror haunted house gem unlike any other film ever made.

The movie was a success back in 1985 but you rarely hear people talking about. The practical effects are pretty wild and the story is really creative. The most impressive thing is how the production manages to nail the tone of frights and laughs equally. Sexy William Katt (The Greatest American Hero) stars as a recently divorced father who moves back to the creepy old house his aunt left him, and the one in which him and his ex lost their son. George Wendt stars as his nosey neighbor. The movie creatively executes the haunted house stuff but soon transforms into a genre fantasy hybrid. The atmosphere and world are created impressively and the human aspect is engaging as well. As a kid this fueled my nightmares with that weird obese creature in the purple dress but now it all just entertains the hell out of me.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A family-friendly version of Evil Dead 2 / Poltergeist / The Babadook. The plot holes could be explained as ghost magic or hallucinations, while the 'nam scene with the kid is extra spooky after the mention of the Twilight Zone.… Expand

This movie is one of the many horror movies I grew up on. I absolutely love it. If you give it a chance, I'm sure it'll surprise you! Some very creative thinking went into this story, and the acting is still great by even today's standards!This movie is one of the many horror movies I grew up on. I absolutely love it. If you give it a chance, I'm sure it'll surprise you! Some very creative thinking went into this story, and the acting is still great by even today's standards! Just go into with an open mind and remember this movie is over 30 years old at the time of this review! So don't judge it on dated special effects or you're spoiling the movie only for yourself. Thanks for reading!… Expand
