This is a true rare gem, and its a shame that not many people have heard of it. It stars the awesome vincent price as a storyteller who introduces 3 stories, (its an anthology film basically) These include one about a boy who is the only one who can see a ghost, the legend of sleepy hollow (we all know that one) and one about a boy searching for a clock that could bring about Armageddon. Its not scary and is pretty tame stuff (though it might frighten really small children, specially the witch in one segment) but is very addictive and great fun. I got my copy from ebay and i highly recommend it to anyone. Its quite short at about 5o mins but that will only get you rewinding and watching again and again, i certainly did. A must own.
