Augustus Goldfinch returns home to visit his “dying” Aunt Julia, the last surviving member of his family. A Southern eccentric with a taste for amateur mysticism, Julia persuades her stick-in-the-mud nephew to spend the night in the local haunted house.
Where, he learns, his mother and father died one terrible night.
It’s a good old-fashioned ghost story in the manner of classic Hollywood–with a light touch, some terror, and murder!
