Quotes:
Mayhew Skinner: Dies Drear's been dead a hundred years. He had no family. You had one. And you threw it away while you crawled around here all those days and nights.Pluto: Mayhew, can't you see, son? This is our legacy, our heritage.
Mayhew Skinner: This isn't our heritage, it's the ART COLLECTION of a rich 19th-century ECCENTRIC! THE ONLY THING THAT'S UNDER HERE THAT'S REALLY OUR HERITAGE ARE THOSE SLAVE REGISTERS! The rest is just earthly goods... and you traded it all for Mother and me.

I first saw this movie when I was in the 3rd, maybe 4th grade. I'm 28 years old now. I remember it was frightening to me, but I also remember watching it as a history movie. If I can recall, there was a family that moved in the house and came to find out it was haunted. I remember the African-American old man with the white beard in a scene where it was very dark. To hear him talk was even more scary. I don't remember too much about it, but I would enjoy owning it. For years I've tried to find this movie for myself to show my children, but no one i've asked has ever heard of it. I'm hoping that there is someone who can tell me where I can purchase 'The House Of Dies Drear', I would greatly appreciate it.
