The House of Dies Drear (1984 TV Movie)
7/10
A bizarre movie, but enjoyable
20 August 2005
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 family moving into a historic house that was owned by Dies Drear, an abolitionist who hid slaves and helped them escape. There is also a rumored treasure hidden somewhere on the land. The family is haunted in the house and meet a strange man who seems to know many of the secrets of the house.

It's a great film. Very clean with some pretty scary elements. No blood and guts and no bad language. It's educational too.
