DRIVE IN SATURDAY
...And Don’t Forget To Boogen

Take a best selling horror novel that even scared The Dauphin who can barely read. Hire a film director who made one of the best of the PBS mini-series. Cast four of Hollywood’s greatest stars, whose combined acting experience totals nearly 200 years. The results should be a classy chiller, right? Think again, gullible goons.
Ghost Story, the movie, is a disaster on the order of The Shining, Blow Out or any. picture starring Elliott Gould. Based on the 560 page “good read” by Peter Straub and directed by John (Tinker. Tailor, Soldier, Spy) Irvin, it blows double digit millions on a simple terror tale that would have been better off as a low budget flick. (CREEM could have used that money for Dave DiMartino to take aerobic dancing classes.)
