Jennifer Davis: OK. We went to the Historical Society...
Carleton Davis: [interupts] No wait, wait, wait! You gotta see this!
[pulls out a fake mummy]
Carleton Davis: Isn't he great?

[Eloise laughs]

Carleton Davis: OK, I don't know how you guys are doing that, but one thing I do know, this house is not haunted!
Carleton Davis: [Immediately, things in the room start going off. The organ plays by itself, the lights dim up and down, the fake mummy comes to life and begins dancing around to the organ music, ghost hands fill out the monster gloves and start to clap in mid-air. As the music reaches its peak, the mummy swings its arms around three times, then collapses in a heap, the room returning to normal. Carleton looks to Eloise] Hmm.
Eloise Davis: Well, that's it! Time to call a realtor!
Carleton Davis: Eloise, how can you say that?

Jennifer Davis: I'm not spending another night in this house, it's full of ghosts!
Carleton Davis: Wait! Wait! Hold it, everybody! I got an idea, uh, sleeping bags! We have sleeping bags... uh, we'll camp out!

A good kid's horror movie

I remember watching this movie and being scared. But I also remember laughing a lot, as well. The scary parts weren't so scary that I never wanted to see it again, though. Lucky for me (since it isn't offered on video) I had my Mom tape it. This movie was great, and the sequel "Bride of Boogedy" wasn't too bad either. Although, I was a bit disheartened that Kristy Swanson didn't play the role of Jennifer in BOTH movies. A good movie to watch with kids for a "scary" movie night, because it won't give them horrible nightmares. I give it 8 stars!
