I LOVED THIS MOVIE AS A KID. IT USED TO SCARE ME TO DEATH. NOW MY CHILDREN ALSO LIKE IT.THE PARTS THAT USED TO SCARE ME MOST WERE WHEN THOMAS WAS IN THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD AND WAS HEARING THOSE NOISES AND ALSO WHEN PLUTO JUMPED UP FROM UNDER THE GROUND.

I loved it it was a fun movie the ending could have been better but other wise it was a good movie.SO I HIGHLY RECCOMAND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a hit and miss movie.

Great actors!

but some are a lil over the top!


but this vid was some years ago lol

While the overall theme was interesting (a ghost from the days of slavery inhabiting a house) the film maker did a poor job at the film and I had a very difficult time keeping the attention of my 8th graders.

The book came exactly in the shape the seller said that it would. It arrived very quickly also.

This movie isnt half bad, but the book is better. If you liked this movie even just a little do yourself a favour and read the book and some others by Virginia Hamilton.

The product was of excellent quality. The product was received quickly from time of purchase. I was very pleased and would certainly consider purchasing other products from this site.

This is a very strange movie with elements of history, some comedy and horror. I remembered being scared of it as a kid, and as an adult I can still appreciate this film.

It's basically the story of a young black man and his family who move into a historic house that was owned by Dies Drear, a Dutch abolitionist who hid slaves and helped them escape to freedom. There is a rumored treasure hidden somewhere on the land. The family soon begins to suspect that the ghosts of slaves who passed through there are haunting the house when they meet a strange man who seems to know many secrets.

I had never heard of this movie before; then one day when I was Substiute teaching, teh class was watching this. The kids Loved it; and I was interested too. I unfortunately didn't get to see the rest; but the next year In my own class room; I tracked this movie down. My students LOVED it. Scary enough to be fun; but family friendly. The effects are low budget; but this is great and educational.
I reccomend this for anyone who likes to watch fun Kid level Scary movies; this is GREAT. Also check out "Something Wicked This Way Comes."

I saw it and it was pretty cool. The ending was a little lame though. This one dude named Pluto keeps on scaring the children....lol
