I tune in every day to watch Piggly Winks...and I don't have any kids. I love the premise of the show; an older Piggly Winks relaying life's lessons to his grandkids. I love the characters, especially Ferny and Dannon, but all the characters are enjoyable to watch. But mostly, I think this show is very well written. The story lines are easy to follow, but are presented with humor and subtle details that adults will find entertaining. The variety of characters give the show a fun diversity, and the details in the animation means you can re-watch it and see things you didn't see before. I am very happy that I found this show.
I saw this movie about 20 years ago and I have yet to work up the nerve to see it again. Many below reviewers have compared it to the original The Haunting and House on Haunted Hill, but I have to say that this movie is better. Although the thrills are accomplished the same way, just atmosphere and acting, I find that the story is more interesting and the characters more real. I think the reason why this movie is so effective in scaring you is because no over-the-top CGIs or special effects are used to constantly remind you that this is a big movie production. The scares are provided by simple, everyday things like a ball bouncing and a piano playing. This movie sets the bar that all other ghost movies have yet to reach. Hopefully someday, I'll realize that sleep is over-rated and watch this movie again.
