The Horrid Henry collection of stories is currently the subject of 17 books written for children aged between 6 and 11. The author of these books is Francesca Simon and the subject for the stories, a boy called Henry. As you can probably guess from the title of the collection Henry is a horrid child whereas his brother Peter is perfect. Henry's mum and dad sincerely wish that Henry was like Peter but we don't because then there wouldn't be any fantastic antics from Simon to right her books about.
Horrid Henry's Haunted House is book number 6 and was published in 1998. The book contains four stories entitled, Horrid Henry and the Comfy Black Chair, Horrid Henry's Haunted House, Horrid Henry's School Fair and Horrid Henry Minds his Manners.
Each story is roughly 20 pages in length and so is more than manageable for children ...
Advantages: Complex, intelligent, layered, endlessly rewarding... Disadvantages: Jan de Bont saw it one time. No good came of that.
Robert Wise's 1963 The Haunting is, I'll go ahead and announce right here and now, one of my favourite films of all time. Complex, intelligent, layered, beautifully shot, wittily written - whatever one's criteria for judging the merits of these things, The Haunting meets it, shortly before scaring the very pores out the skin...

He enlists a handful of volunteers to assist him, principle amongst them being Julie Harris' Eleanor Lance, a woman still riddled with guilt following the recent death of her invalid mother.
Throughout the course of the experiment ...
Advantages: great entertaining movie Disadvantages: none
downpour, creating a landslide and blocking the only road in and out.
There is, however, a more sinister reason for the owner of Gracy Manor, Master Edward Gracy, (played by Nathaniel Parker), to want Sara Evers as his houseguest?which soon becomes apparent as you continue watching.
Gracy Manor has a strange and ghostly secret which is unravelled in the film, with a brilliant twist toward the end.
**IN CONCLUSION**
With some very peculiar looking ghost and a rather devilish butler this film is entertaining for all the family.
The story line is not the best but does create a very good ghostly/comedy/horror movie for the entire family, {including those of a nervous disposition}.
The special effects, creating the ghost and ghouls, are just right for the type of audience that the film is aimed at, they are not too scary and not too ...
