TV star Mary Page Keller (Pretty Little Liars) appears alongside Andrew Stevens (10 to Midnight, The Fury) as a couple terrorized by an age-old curse in this much-underrated late-80s offering from director Richard Friedman. Keller plays Kate Christopher, a singer who moves into an old colonial mansion with her son and psychologist boyfriend David (Stevens). But when they make a strange and gruesome discovery in the boarded-up attic, it soon becomes clear that the mansion carries with it a dark and blood-stained past - and one that is about to terrorize them in the present. The second feature helmed by Richard Friedman, who went on to direct such genre favourites as Doom Asylum and Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge, Scared Stiff (AKA The Masterson Curse) builds to an astonishing practical FX-laden climax sure to please fans of 80s horror.

Standard haunted house fare
Scared Stiff is the first of 3 horror films directed by Richard Friedman in the late 80s (the other two being Doom Asylum and Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge). A mother, her son, and her new boyfriend (who also happens to be her psychiatrist) move into a new home that is haunted by its former inhabitant who was a particularly sadistic slave owner. The former slave owner's hauntings increase in intensity making the new home ever more dangerous for the mother and her son, forcing her to make some drastic decisions. Scared Stiff is a pretty standard haunted house story that is a nice piece to have next to Friedman's other two late 80s horror movies and does a good job showing that Friedman knows how to make a suspenseful film. The story itself is a bit run-of-the-mill at times but is still entertaining for fans of the haunted house genre.
