Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When the Ouija board planchette is flying around the room (from 21:58 to 22:08), you can see the wires that are holding it up. (This is not apparent in the 2005 DVD version from Sony Home Entertainment.) more

[Ben has just brought Medea home] That was a wonderful evening Ben, thanks, how about some coffee before you go.
Ben Rush:
No thanks not tonight, I sure wish you and your family were staying somewhere else this place gives me the creeps.

Oh don't start with that again.

Well I worry about you Medea, just for me will you try to be a little careful.

For you I'll pull the covers over my head tonight.

Yes, it may be old but I find it better than the "new revised" version that terribly stunk. Sure, when we see floating candles and furniture we can only imagine a small thin piece of string on the tip but hey, at least they used their imagination and had fun with it. The part played by the wicked witch from "The Wizard of Oz" was the best part. She was perfect in the film. As well as the family. They played their parts better. The father didn't act as stupid as the one in the modern version and the rest of the actors/actresses were better as well. There were alot of parts in the film that did not match the ones in the modern version but hey, thats why I liked it better they didn't have all those boring motives that the modern version had. And the ghosts were even scarier even though you could tell that it was a man in a costume with a reflecting light.
