Put together a gloomy New England house, a dark night and four of America's legendary leading men, and you have all the ingredients for a spellbinding motion picture based on a bestseller by Peter Straub. Co-starring Patricia Neal, GHOST STORY is about the members of the Chowder Society (played by Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and John Houseman), who get together each week to share tales of horror. Soon, however, a secret terror invades the group, and one by one, they die mysteriously because of a real-life ghost story that is part of their past. (Note courtesy of Universal Pictures.)
