The Frighteners
1996, 105 minutes, Rated M
In the sleepy little town of Fairwater, a monstrous evil has awakened...an evil so powerful, its reach extends beyond the grave. From Oscar nominated director Peter Jackson and Executive Producer Robert Zemeckis comes The Frighteners, a riveting comedy-thriller filled with spectacular special effects!
Frank Bannister (Michael J. Fox) makes a living as a small-town "ghost buster" ridding haunted houses of their unwelcome "guests". But he's in cahoots with the very ghosts he promises to evict! It's the perfect scam, until a powerful spirit goes on a murderous rampage, and everyone in town thinks that Frank is behind it. Now he must try to clear his name and find a way to stop this diabolical ghost - without becoming one himself!
Co-starring Trini Alvarado (Paulie) and Chi McBride (Undercover Brotehr), and featuring music by Danny Elfman (Beetlejuice), this supernatural chiller is so fiendishly entertaining, it's scary!
