31 Days of Horror Clips, Day 29

Ghost Story is a spooker that always seems to fall through the cracks when "scary movie list time" rolls around. Not only is it genuinely creepy, but it also features a powerhouse quartet of old school stage and screen legends--Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, John Houseman, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.

Based on Peter Straub's best-selling novel, the film follows the events that befall the elderly members of the Chowder Society--a social club that meets to drink and spin ghost stories--when their tainted past finally returns to haunt them. It seems that, in their reckless youth, these gents did a young lady in and she's come back from the grave 50 years later to settle the score.
