The Ghosts of Buxley Hall (1980 TV Movie)
10/10
The most bone-chilling horror film ever made.
20 October 2020
My God. As a grown man who's seen plenty of scary films, I didn't think a movie could affect me like The Ghosts of Buxley Hall. My wife and I were not prepared for this film in any way. Yes, we expected to be scared, but we were not expecting to question our own sanity. From the moment the Civil War soldiers come down off the paintings to put a stop to the unthinkable concept of girls being admitted to their beloved Buxley Hall school for boys, the psychological siege on the viewer does not let up. But the moment you fully comprehend that you are watching a true masterpiece of horror is the scene where the hapless janitor witnesses a floating hair dryer (handled by the old timey lady ghost who had never seen a hair dryer before...nor had she heard the sounds of modern disco). It's a scene that stays with you for weeks.

No matter how big a horror fan you are, think twice about watching The Ghosts of Buxley Hall. And please, do NOT watch it alone. If you are under 30 years old, do not watch it al ALL. You're not ready for this yet.
