Original script. There is always a creepy house story in the neighborhood! The House on Hyde Street is such a story. What works The House on Hyde Street is the old story of three kids sneaking into creepy house. Just like in many of those grade b horror movies. There is a history with the house. Is the history true? Is some one in the house? Who did the murder? What works is The House on Hyde Street dose not let the viewer know until the end! Keller and Stone must interview and deduct evidence. There is the angry neighbors, a mysterious guy, and children hiding a secret! What more to make a plot bubble! The creepy hoarder house is fun, yet scary, to watch. The guy needs an intervention like on the show! LOL Well The House on Hyde Street has a double climax, which make for an original ending. Well written and directed. Just like the old house this is they don't make them like they use too! 7 stars.

***SPOILERS*** Loosely based on the crazy Collyer brothers of the 1940's who's hording everything that they can get their hands on resulted in both dying in traps that they set in their 5th Ave and E 128 street Manhattan mansion that was filled with as much as 120 tons of junk newspapers and garbage that the two weirdos accumulated over the last 10 to 15 years. In this case Det. Let. Mike Stone, Karl Malden, and his partner Inspt. Steven Keller, Michael Douglas, are summoned to Hyde Street in San Francisco where it's reported that 12 year old Mark Dunham, Michael Morgan, was last reported to be and ended up dead with a broken neck. It's the owner of the house Harlan Edgeton , Leu Ayres, who's the #1 suspect in Mark's death who's shut in brother Don was also suspected but cleared of the death of a 10 year old girl in the very same house 30 years ago.
It soon turns out that despite being a bit, yeah sure, nutty Harlan is as harmless as a kitten, or his pet cat Tommy, and couldn't hurt a fly much less kill a human being. That's not what Mark's best friend Billy's, Clint Howard, dad Joe Randolph, Albert Salmie, thinks and organizes a lynch mom to burn Harlan's house down with all the junk he has stored, a major fore hazard, in it. Rudolph also has it in for Harlan's whacked out brother who cracked up after he survived the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor who's been hiding in the house ever since and was later suspected to have murdered a 10 year old girl which he was cleared of.
****SPOILERS*** With Joe Rudolph & Co. about to burn the place down it's discovered, by him confessing, that it was his son Billy who by having Mark brake into the house who was really responsible for Mark getting himself killed! AS for the elusive Don Edgeton It's discovered that he's been living locked up on the roof in the house's chicken coop all these years living on bird seed and molded bread never once bothering to venture out in public. All this exonerated both Harlan & Don in Mark's death but gets the ready to take the law into their hands Rudolph and his friends into hot water for jumping the gun. That's before the evidence proved that the Eageton brothers were in fact innocent of any of all the charges placed against them!
