Jan and Ellie are two American girls whose family have just moved to the English countryside. Pretty soon, they start getting spooked out by strange things happening in the house, and out in the nearby woods. Could this have anything to do with the vanishing years ago of their landlady’s daughter? Nicely creepy movie with lots of atmosphere and some good scares, but no serious violence.

Fascinating facts
Old time Hollywood star Bette Davis was meant to play the landlady in The Watcher in the Woods in two different time periods, 30 years apart. The director and Davis then agreed that no amount of make-up and special effects could make her look young enough.
