The Watcher In the Woods (1980)

The Final Ghouls are taking a trip into the woods -- and possibly other dimensions -- as we look at the 1980 Disney-made supernatural horror film The Watcher In the Woods!  We don't all agree on how successful this one is and Holly, Jeremy and L have a healthy debate on what works and what doesn't for each of us.

Get Ready For: Discussion of the characters and mystery elements, the wild release history and the multiple filmed endings, our respective fandoms (or lack thereof) for Disney, Bette Davis appreciation, our problems with the performances, the 2017 Lifetime remake, and  Holly and Jeremy's experiences being gaslit by relatives as children (it sounds worse than it is!).
