"There were the precursors to the series 'A Haunting', one of my favorite shows. I never watched these or the series when they were new but my sister found the 'A Haunting' box set in a store for $15 and bought them for my Dad for Christmas. I saw the box set on a shelf a few times when visiting but never borrowed it but one Halloween when I was there thought 'what the heck'. Anyway, added these to my Halloween shows I watch during the month of October and was surprised to find out that there were two movies that inspired this series.



These are those movies. They are presented in the old square aspect ratio so if you have a HDTV they won't look as good as the series. They are presented in the same manner of the series, very 'Unsolved Mysteries'esk, which I really like. But these are long, maybe it's because I'm used to the 45 minute episodes of the series, but they drag on a little. The entire time I thought they could have fit the entire story in 45 minutes, they didn't need the 94 that they use.



I'm taking off one stars just because the quality wasn't very good, it was sub par even by DVD standards. I'm not talking about the aspect ratio but because the video is grainy. The other star is just because they are so long, it seemed to me that they struggled to make these 94 minutes and drug their feet. The would have been much better as 45 minutes."

Great Movie!
