Put together a gloomy New England house, a dark night and four of America's legendary leading men and you have all the ingredients for the classic Ghost Story, a spellbinding motion picture based on the bestseller by Peter Straub. Co-starring Patricia Neal, Ghost Story is about the Members of the Chowder Society: Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and John Houseman, who get together each week to share tales of horror. Soon, however, a secret terror invades the group, and one by one, they die mysteriously because of a real-life ghost story that is part of their past.

Between this and The Changeling, and the Shining, doesn't get any better. Shows that as long as the cast is good and the storytelling is perfect, it can't get better. Nowadays, we see directors and studios pile on the special effects, but it won't help at all without acting and story telling. The story has to be good and this is as good as it gets. Straub, Koontz and King, pillers of good horror. This is Straub and he shines through, Can't recommend it enough.

Don't expect this to resemble the novel, but still it's an enjoyable creepy flick for a rainy afternoon.

This movie should be free. I haven't watched since I was a child. Scary!!!!!!!!!!
