I think this is a favourite of pretty much everyone here and at the old board, indeed one of the best children's films ever made. It's a pity that it's still a bit under-appreciated by the general public. I wonder if that's because it was a little bit too scary for its intended audience. I'm pretty sure Scottish Television even showed it in its late-night horror slot on one occasion. I watched the recent Second Sight BD and it is absolutely gorgeous. It comes with a reprint of the original novel, The Ghosts, which is where I first came to the material in a film tie-in edition in my class library.
