Pre-viewed for quality and it had some rolling lines at 4 1/2 minutes in. There was some crackling on the films soundtrack now then, this is not the tape but the sourceprint itself. Played great otherwise on my Sony vcr deck. The cassettes top label has a dry sticker stain across it's upper half. There is also store branded security labels on both endcaps assuring you of first geneartion quality. Box has been cut and mounted in a white, hard clamshell display case and still has nice color for it. Has a small 'horror' sticker on the top left spine. Roger Marshall scripted this adaptation of David Case's 'Fengriffin', named for the family of Charles, who has brought his new bride Catherine home to his ancestral estate. Unbeknownst to Catherine, Charles has brought her to flaunt his disbelief in a curse placed upon his family generations earlier, as a result of a viciuos crime perpertrated by ancestor Henry Fengriffin (Herbert Lom). But almost immediately upon moving in, Catherine is beset by spectral visitations--including a crawling severed hand (see cover) and a phantom that attacks her in her own bed. Despite the preventive efforts of Charles, and the mysterious deaths of servants and associates that get too close to the truth, Catherine gradually learns more about the history of the family she has married into, and develops a morbid certainty that her unborn child doesn't belong to Charles--or to any living person. Meanwhile, the defiant Charles insists that a local woodcutter with a distinctive, telling birth-mark is personally responsible for Catherine's ordeal; and family doctor Whittle summons journeyman psychiatrist Dr. Pope (top billed Peter Cushing) to set her mind at ease. A vivid flashback tells the tale behind the tale, setting the stage for a seemingly inevitable conclusion.
