"It got the mix of horror and comedy exactly right - genuinely funny, but genuinely scary and emotional as well."

--Chuck McKenzie, Melbourne, Australia

"Another of those flicks that never got the recognition it deserved. Blending a little humour with horror served this film well. And who said Michael J Fox can't act. It's worth watching just for the scene where John Astin as the Hanging Judge's ghost humps a sarcophagus in the museum while all hell breaks loose around him--'I like it when they lie still like that!'"

--Mick, Southern Horror Group at Yahoo
