Quotes:

Maurice: I'm doing some research on this 17th century cleric who lived in this house. He thought he could make himself immortal.
Rev. Tommy Sonnenscheim: Then I should imagine he had a great disappointment in store.
Maurice: Possibly, though I saw him last night in the dining room.

What a Wonderful World

Top notch "Adult" Ghost Story

We love, Love, LOVE The GREENMAN and would love to have it in our inventory. We've searched high and low and can't find a copy - anyone out there know how/where we can locate one? Yep, we've tried Amazon, etc. to no avail. This is the perfect Halloween movie and we're fast approaching another witching season and would love to see it again. It's a classic "adult" ghost story worth seeing. The mood is dark yet entertaining and the performances of the entire cast are riveting and spell binding. Albert Finney outdoes himself as the owner of an Inn (The Greenman) whose past is filled with secrets, mystery and the unknown. If you like The Fog and the suspicious nature of what's going to happen next, you'll enjoy The Greenman, year after year.
