Richard Sawyer (William Bloomfield) has given tours through his museum
for years now, but this is going to be his last one, as his brother
(William Youmans), the museum's curator, has decided to close it down, as
the estate is to be sold and torn down to make way for a mall or
something. The museum has a troubled and deeply haunted past, too, a past
that has to do with the death of 30 children on the premises ... but that
has never troubled Richard any, as he refuses to believe in ghosts. But
three members of his last tour (Natalie Brown, Cliff Miller, Greg Nutcher)
might make Richard rethink ... Now Ghost Tour is not
your rollercoaster ride filled with special effects designed to scare the
living shit out of you - rather it's a deliberately slow moving narrative
that builds tension only gradually as it gives away its backstory only by
the by, making things creepier with every new twist and turn - and the
final shot really does pack a punch. All this is achieved by a laid-back
yet on the spot directorial effort, a very solid cast, and of course a
great location, the Mark Twain House and Museum, Hartford,
Connecticut. And if you're at all up for watching this short
right now ... here you go:
