Beautiful musical score.
Most young people will not watch it because it is “black and white” but it is worth the time (as are many old movies).
One of my favorite movies from the 4pm showing after grammar school.

My favorite “Halloween” story (ghost story) by far. Got the book for Christmas when I was 12. I have used photos of the house interior as desktop backgrounds.
I have memories of the TV show.
I remember the ending had me in tears and I was only 6 years old. Gave me a foundation of hope that I carry to this day.
“”””You can even go a step further and speculate that the romance at its centre, between a young widow and a recently deceased ghost, might have resonated with all the women who had lost loved ones during the war that had concluded just two years previous. There were, to be sure, a lot of ghosts wandering around America and the world at the time, in a miasma of shared grief that would take years to dissipate.””””
I’m glad the world didn’t wallow in it, but what a vast realm of sadness and loss must have been stored in the world’s population, that they took to their graves.
Loved her in Laura. She was kind of quirky and hooked up with Howard Hughes and it was rumored she was why he got reclusive.
Acutally there was an even earlier film written by Noel Coward called “Blythe Spirit” with Rex Harrison and also was also all out funny.
Another film kind of in the same vein was I Married A Witch with Frederic March and Veronica Lake.
There was also another movie like that called Portrait of Jennie with Jospeh Cotten and Jennifer Jones
I loved that movie..😊
MAD Magazine (I think) did a good spoof on the series back in the day.
