London solicitor Arthur Kipps is sent to Crythin Gifford—a faraway town in the windswept salt marshes—to attend the funeral and settle the affairs of a client, Mrs. Alice Drablow of Eel Marsh House. Kipps is unaware of the tragic secrets that lie hidden within Drablow's house, and in this 1983 classic, he finds himself haunted by a series of mysterious sounds and images—a rocking chair in a deserted nursery, the eerie sound of a pony and trap, a child's scream in the fog, and, most terrifying of all, a ghostly woman dressed all in black.
