The Clifton House Mystery. (1978)
A family moves into an old house and the children discover a mysterious sealed room which holds a terrifying secret.
A delightful children's drama from the 70's. The Clifton House Mystery is beautifully atmospheric and wonderfully acted by all. As it was made for children it's not full on horror but it's definitely sinister and quite macabre in places.
There's a charmingly amusing little sequence when the two boys attend a talk from ghost hunter Milton Guest as played by Peter Sallis. As he's introduced to the rather sparse audience -
Ben - He's not what i was expecting
Steven - Nor me. I thought he'd be more like Vincent Price. |
