Director Tobe Hooper joins super-natural forces with producer Steven Spielberg to create one of the most frightening haunted house stories ever!

Their house may look exactly like every other one on the block, but what's buried beneath the foundation results in horrors that the Freeling family couldn't imagine even in their worst nightmares.
