Few stories are ever translated to film in a way that totally respects the work that is being portrayed. This movie I have had always found to be an exception. The actors were expertly chosen and the whole atmosphere of the film concentrates on the characters instead of special effects, a true story. Tobe Hooper knew exactly what he was doing in the creation of this film.

This really freaked me out the first time I saw it on tv I was a bit pissed off when i got the dvd of it, (and I was glad i saw it on tv first) because it showed a picture of barlow, it takes away the shock value seeing a picture of him (I know the pic didn't spoil it for me becasue I already saw it but what I mean is what if I hadn't).

There's a lot that can be said about this TV movie (good and bad) but one thing is certain - the depiction of the Marsden house in this film was amazing. It was as scary as a house could ever look. There was a house just like this in our old neighborhood that haunted all the children. And for years after we moved away, we would occassionally drive by just to get the chills!

Hey, I just wanted to say that this mini-series was one of my favorites of all time, ( I am a vampire nut). The reason that this is one of my favorites is because it was filmed about 10 minutes from my home town of Rio Dell, California. The actual name of the town where it was filmed is Ferndale. As a matter of fact I used to drive by the place where the Vamps house was. It is on Blue Slide Rd. And yes, Ferndale does have all of those Victorian houses and buildings. It's nick name is The Victorian Village. It would be awesome if this was made into a feature film and re-shot in Ferndale..
