Child of Glass (1978)

This is was the scariest movie I ever saw as a child and it's memory has haunted me for years. I would not recommend letting young children watch this film as I watched it when I was nine when I watched it and I could not look in the corner of my bedroom for about three years. I have always wondered what the movie was called and when finding it it still raised the hairs on the back of my neck and I am in my thirties . I must say I was surprised it was a Walt Disney film....... I don't know if I could watch it again even now. For it's time it was made it the special effects were obviously very effective as I have never forgotten it. I am not saying the movie is bad just that it is frightening.

I LOVED this movie. Go try to buy it on ebay,it goes for no less than $70-80 dollars! Disney NEEDS to re-release this movie on VHS and DVD WITH extras. A great spooky Mystery for kids and teens. Has a wonderful feel to it. Why Disney doesn't make more like this, escapes me. It's also sad that the main character(Alexander played by Steve Shaw) died in a motorcycle accident at the age of 25. (in 1990). I'm also researching where the other actors are that played in this movie. We should all email Disney till they re-release this again. My own kids love this movie as well!

I must say that this was a very enjoyable movie and would recommend it for the whole family.Here is a ghost story that builds on the idea that trust is a good thing and even though you may reside in different worlds you can still bond with each other and help in a time of need.A modern boy keeps seeing a ghost girl, about his same age, and discovers that the little girl cannot rest in peace until she solves a riddle. Even though it may be dangerous and the little boy will end up losing the ghost girl as a friend if he succeeds in solving the it he agrees to help. He gets help from a new neighbor friend who is also the same age and their off to the races. They have only until holloween to solve the riddle of "The Child of Glass"

I finally found this movie after a long search, and it was worth the wait. I was about 7 when it appeared on television in the late '70s, and I have never forgotten it. I have a six year old girl now who was absolutely riveted by it. If you ever have a chance to rent or buy this (hard to do, its been OOP for a while), please do so. The scene where the little ghost girl Inez becomes real for a moment to dance a waltz with the little boy in the story still gets me. What a great movie!
