Award-winning, best-selling author John Bellairs: his life, his work, his legacy

Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand.... Vincent Price narrates this amusing collection of three tales of terror: The Ghost Belonged to Me, by Richard Peck; Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and John Bellairs’ The House with a Clock in its Walls.

	Lewis Barnavelt finally makes it out of a book! Uncle Jonathan with a hammer! Watch out! “Aba bēbē bachabē” - and away we go! John Bellairs is mentioned as author of the source text and Vincent Price name checks the guy. Too cool! They are actually two other stories you can watch - The Ghost Belonged to Me and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow!
	The oatmeal scabs on Mrs. Izard’s face. Tarby’s nicknames for Lewis, like “Wiz” and “Hot Shot.” What – was Mrs. Zimmermann on vacation? Uncle Jonathan’s dressing gown. “I hope this isn’t a distant relative....”
	Selenna’s raspy voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard – ewwww! Lewis levitates? Uh.... Some of the music has dated since 1979, but it still creates a suspenseful mood. Believability: Lewis acts a little too cocky at times. All this took place in 20 minutes?
