I see the music box playing among the rubble as ghost Joseph being lulled to sleep for the last time. I think I saw that in another comment and it makes sense to me (the Trish Van Devere character says the tune has the quality of a lullaby when John Russell plays it on piano, so it probably was that for Joseph before he died, too).

@steeleye2112 6 месяцев назад

Quite simply, one of the greatest, most atmospheric films of all time. The fact that Scott turned in another many years later with Exorcist III is remarkable. He adds so much realism and gravitas to mystical stories. The man was a complete genius at his craft.

@DanielTate-wt9jt 6 месяцев назад

This is one of my favorite horror movies. I'm so glad you did a reaction to it. I've only seen 2 or maybe 3 other reaction channels react to it. It's quite the cult horror classic as well. The red ball with the stripe rolling down the stairs has been done many times in other movies and series as a tribute to this film. I'm not sure if you've seen a movie called "Deathtrap" or not. If not, you should give a watch. It stars Michael Cane and Christopher Reeves. It's a great suspense thriller done in a sort of who done it style. Another movie you might check out is a movie called "Dolls," from 1987 it's a horror/fantasy, and another cult classic.

One of my favorite haunted house films. This was filmed almost entirely in Vancouver. The music and atmosphere in this movie are amazing. Also, the mansion used in the film is actually just a facade built over a more modern house and all of the interiors were done with sets. Pretty impressive stuff.

Thanks for watching The Changeling, Jen! I've never seen anyone react to this movie before. The story written by playwright Russell Hunter, inspired by mysterious events that took place at the Henry Treat Mansion in Cheeseman Park, Denver, Colorado, while Russell Hunter was living there in the 1960s. After experiencing a series of unexplained phenomena, Hunter said he found a century-old journal in a hidden room detailing the life of a disabled boy kept in isolation by his parents. During a seance, he claimed, the spirit of a deceased boy directed him to another house, where he discovered human remains and a gold medallion bearing the dead boy's name. Henry Treat Rogers, a wealthy Denver attorney, was childless, but prior inhabitants of the house remain undocumented. The mansion was demolished in the 1980s and replaced with a high rise apartment building.

George C. Scott was one of the finest of actors. You should watch some of his other movies. I suggest a black comedy entitled "The Hospital." He won an Oscar for "Patton." The young woman in this movie was his wife Trish Van Devere.

My ABSOLUTE favorite haunted house movie ever! A few answers for you... - the movie, believe it or not, was rated R because they didn't have PG-13 at the time. - They hadn't perfected, if even developed, DNA testing. When John digs up the well and says nothing to the cops, it's for many reasons, but mostly because he was about to accuse a powerful US Senator of fraud, and needed proof (aka, the necklace) - Guillermo del Toro named this his favorite horror movie of all time. He actually wants to reboot it, but has dealt with legal red tape over the rights. - The Senator walking up the stairs at the end was his soul.

Saw this on HBO back in the day. One of the BEST of it's genre. George C Scott was a very good actor with a marvelous body of work (Petulia, Thw New Centurions, The Hospital, Day of the Dolphin, Flim Flam Man, etc). I appreciate your reactions and all the cheese and rice that goes with it.😜 I highly recommend you check out a criminally overlooked gem from 1971 Let's Scare Jessica To Death.👍👍

@44excalibur 6 месяцев назад

Sorry, Jen, but the guy you misidentified as Melvyn Douglas at the beginning was actually George C. Scott. You said he looked like Michael Douglas and you asked if they were related, but that was actually George C. Scott, Jen. 😂 He played General Patton in the movie Patton, and he was also in the movie Dr. Strangelove.

@paulinekeown2472 6 месяцев назад

You should watch The Innocents (1961). It's an incredible gothic ghost story based on Henry James's The Turn of the Screw. It's one of my favorite haunted house movies along with The Changeling. The whole movie is here on RU-vid.

Scott would have to deal with ghosts again in 1984's A Christmas Carol! Highly recommended during the holiday season Jen!

@pbryant929 6 месяцев назад

Per your question, Melvyn Douglas is an old character actor who got his start in 1929. No relation to Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas is the son of legendary actor Kirk Douglas, whose real name was Issur Danielovitch Demsky. He's probably best remembered for his role in Stanley Kubrick's 1960 epic SPARTACUS as the title character. He also played Vincent van Gogh in LUST FOR LIFE.

So good! Glad you watched this - it was well-known when it came out, but a lot of people nowadays don’t really know about it and don’t react to it. It’s so creepy and really well done. You can see a number of homages to it if you re-watch “The Others” as the director was a big fan - especially the seance scene at the end.

Not to mention "Burnt Offerings" (1976). All very excellent haunted house films. I Would also like to recommend "The Trilogy of Terror" (1975). As well as both versions of "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" (1973 & 2010). Again thanks for the awesome reaction video Jen!

The makers of the THE CHANGELING couldn’t find a spooky looking mansion that looked the part for this scary story so they had to settle for something more modern and gave it a complete, frontal makeover at the cost of $200,000 dollars which definitely fooled me as I only found out today . its a brilliant film that still holds up well today and thankfully there was no awful CGI to ruin this film at the time of its making . this is the first channel I’ve come across to show this classic and much loved film so THANKS Jen !! 👋🏻🇬🇧

It was filmed primarily in British Columbia, Canada...a wonderful movie...incidentally, they spent $200, 000 on attaching a giant facade to an actual house, because they couldn't find a suitable house for the movie. Also, the interiors of the house were a series of inter-connected sets to allow better camera movement...added to the eeriness of the film.
