One of my favorite films as a kid.
The movie was an attention grabber the moment it showed Macaulay Culkin do his "Uh Oh" face.
One little bit that bothered me as a kid though was the shady librarian. He seemed to anxious to get Richard a library card and have him check out some books. And why didn't he go looking for the kid that he was 'looking for the perfect book for'? I may be nitpicking but that seems like a complete disregard of responsibility
I very much enjoyed the visualization of the stories, especially the how the two separate stories impacted one another. One of my favorite moments of that movie, is when Horror blows out Richard's candle while he is sleeping his tree house. Good looking out buddy, that tree house would go up like timber if that candle was knocked over.
