Plot.
This Disney Studios attempt at entering the horror genre is a British
production based on the chilling novel by Florence Engel Randall. An
American family, headed by composer Paul Curtis (David McCallum) and
his wife Helen (Carroll Baker), is renting an old mansion in England.
The mansion's owner is Mrs. Aylwood (Bette Davis), who lives in a small
guest house on the property. The mansion is surrounded by dense,
forbidding woods. The Curtis children, Jan (Lynn-Holly Johnson) and
Ellie (Kyle Richards), explore the forest. Mrs. Aylwood is continually
searching the woods for her daughter -- whom she lost there 30 years
ago. Over time, the children come to be haunted by the spirit of the
daughter, Karen (Katherine Levy).
