- Quotes
Harold: Hey, it's great to have a new neighbor. Woman lived here before you was nuts. Biggest bitch under the sun. Just a senile old hag really. Wouldn't be surprised if someone just got fed up and offed her. Know what I mean?
Roger: She was my aunt.
Harold: Heart of gold though. Just uh, a saint really. And uh such a beautiful woman, for her age.

Featured review
Visually cool fantasy comedy horror
This is a good movie. Not excellent but good. It has an interesting story, great monster effects, and some scenes have an interesting surreal visual look. The comedy aspect isn't maybe as good as the horror side but it's charming in its 80s cheesy style, and the lighthearted tone makes it more unique. One of the better "haunted house" movies I've seen.
