Terri Treas, as Roger's wife, Kelly, is very pretty and her daughter is a sweetheart, and there is Dabbs Greer, of all people, picking up a paycheck for a few minutes work (longer than Katt really) as Treas' pop, begging her to sell Roger's house and move back to Texas. But leaving behind her husband's memory is difficult.

The third House movie (The Horror Show isn't a sequel I recognize in this series, no matter what other distributors might think) goes the clichéd Haunted house route. Blood from showerheads and faucets, odd sounds, etc.

Melissa Clayton, as the daughter in the wheelchair, reminded me of Haim in Silver Bullet. There's a scene where she looks on at a couple of girls jumproping, yearning to walk again.

Manfredini's score is thankfully different than the similar sounding Friday the 13th strings and melody. It is melancholic and tragic, other times harmonious and idyllic in its sound. I quite liked it.
