That was bad!

I thought the credits said 1983. Filming dates on here say 1983, and the original video release date was 1986. It sure did look older though. And the music! It was straight out of a 50s movie I swear.

"Remember...wherever you go, there you are."

Yes, many of the actors and actresses that appeared in that film were employed by Andy Milligan at his West 39th Street theater at the time which was called Troupe Theater, a seedy but fun off-off Broadway venture. I heard it was a real decrepit broken-down theater in a bad part of Manhattan at the time.

Of the actors, look for Dennis Malvasi (credited as Albert Alfano), who later became a notorious anti-abortion terrorist. He is first seen 52 minutes into the film as Tony, a friend of the Hendersons, who is driving up to the haunted house with his girlfriend to spend the night. (Malvasi was the only one of the cast and crew who owned and knew how to drive a car. The car that he pulls up in really was owned by him). Aside from some ad libs, his best line is: "Ann, you all right? You look like you've seen a ghost".
