1991 "The Haunted" is a horror movie made for T.V.. It appears a VHS CBS Fox catalog might exist but otherwise this movie is extremely rare and unlikely to be found.
However, there does appear to be some vhs rips of low quality but even these are hard to come by.
There is finally one rip that seems to be very transparent and possibly the best quality that can be found of NTSC for this movie. It appears ripped from a digital "Encore TV" station. It has a flaw where the station logo shows on bottom right of screen but considering the high quality it's forgivable. You can also make out some analog artifacts from the broadcast analog master since the quality is so high. I don't think better quality is possible in NTSC.
High quality rip can sometimes be found on DVDr and usually has a low quality copy case label with a VHS catalog number from Fox Video (and Fox Video logo on front & back) and has some blue (the dvdr I got has high quality disc label). Low quality rip on DVDr usually doesn't show CBS Fox on case label and is mostly black with wavy letters of title in front of house (lightning next to house).
Couldn't match frame but think you can still make out difference.
Low quality
High quality
This's the high quality "Encore T.V." rip copy I bought https://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-HAUNTED...gAAOSwX0db8f9Z

A few things:
1.) The supposed haunted house is about 5 minutes from my home in the next town over. I pass Chase Street quite often and many times have I wanted to go and snap some photos.
2.) Around here it was news worthy during the mid 1980's and there was so much talk (much like Amityville) that it was a hoax and such but who knows. Recently I heard someone claim the Smurls admitted to making it up so who knows.
3.) YT has a decent upload of it I recently watched.
4.) One thing always bugging me is how they did not tell Kirkland the proper way to say Wilkes Barre as she says it right in the beginning of the film clearly as someone who never heard of it nor lived in the area. Just a pet peeve.
Rewatching s1-5 of Fringe !
Also Guyver
How long could humanity last if a virus killed almost everyone on the planet and left all the survivors – and all their future descendents – completely blind?
The premise might be somewhat silly but it's original and detailed enough to warrant a look.
The costume and weapons design is really good and adds to the immersion. And the choreography and tension of the fight scenes is top notch, IMO.
Finished watching Witcher season 1.
I thought it was... okay, enjoyable enough, but lacking a real pull-you-in draw.
Some episodes were good, others were poor. The dragon episode was lolz. The dragon itself looked stupid as all hell. Like something out of Kevin Sorbo's Hercules.
Cavill's acting seems a bit wooden but that makes sense since his character is supposed to not feel human emotions. So he's doing the character, just that the character is a bit bland. Action I'm happy with, it gets quite a lot more visceral later on but I can also see the CG budget dropped a bit in later episodes. Not uncommon for a series.
So overall good but not great, IMO. The next season is far away. Gives them time to tweak and improve the show.
