The mean little goblins are played by Felix Silla (Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Ghostbusters 2), Tamara De Treaux (Ghoulies, E.T.), and Patty Maloney (Ice Pirates, Legend). While they do succeed in giving audiences some pretty well-timed jump scares, the real horror that exists in Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is in the sounds and voices that echo throughout the long shadows in the mansion while Sally is all alone.
The film stands as one of the scariest made-for-TV endeavors by any network, perhaps being rivaled only by the 1979 CBS movie Salem’s Lot.
You cannot stream the 1973 version of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, but you are currently able to rent it On Demand with Google Play.
