(1970) ***
All ABC Movies of the Week from the 70’s through most of the 80’s get 3 stars from me, no more, no less. There’s something about them that feel like a comfortable pair of jeans and they’re best served on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The House That Would Not Die is the first of three that I watched this past Sunday on YouTube and boy am I ever glad I did!
Ruth Bennett moves into the home she inherited from her deceased aunt along with her niece. Rumors of the house being haunted prompts her friend to conduct a séance. I love séances in movies because they have a 100% success rate when it comes to contacting spirits of the deceased unlike real life séances which yield a 0% success rate. After they make contact with the ghosts of Revolutionary War casualties the house starts to terrorize them. A couple of people get possessed and there was also a guy with a mustache who was pretty cool. That’s about all I remember.

Haha, I think I have watched nearly every ABC Movie of the Week on YouTube! I can't get enough of them! Watch "Bad Ronald" or "When Michael Calls".

That line made me laugh out loud!
When Michael Calls is awesome! I'm pretty sure I've seen Bad Ronald too.
Hilarious review, JSP!!
