Description:
Big-screen stars Steve Guttenberg (THREE MEN AND A LITTLE LADY) and Kirsten Dunst (DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, CRAZY/BEAUTIFUL) encounter a host of haunts in this delightfully spooky mystery! Buzzy Crocker (Guttenberg) is a hard-luck photojournalist whose unexpected encounter with an old woman leads him to investigate an unexplained, decades-old disappearance. It seems that one Halloween night, many years ago, five partygoers vanished in the elevator of the Hollywood Tower Hotel ... and ever since, their ghosts have remained trapped inside the dilapidated old building! In an action-filled story that delivers creepy fun for everyone, Buzzy ultimately teams with his niece (Dunst) to solve the mystery while managing to save their lives and capture the biggest story of the year!

Amazon.com:
Kirsten Dunst stars as plucky teen niece to Steve Guttenberg in this 1997 telefilm that sets out to provide background for one of Disney/MGM Studios' popular thrill-rides, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Guttenberg plays Buzzy, a down-on-his-luck former journalist relegated to concocting stories for a Weekly World News-inspired tabloid. When an elderly woman approaches Buzzy with a compelling ghost story, he's persuaded to investigate. Dunst is Anna, who joins Buzzy in his search to find out the truth about the mysterious 1939 disappearance of five people--including a Shirley Temple-like child star--at the eerily abandoned Hollywood Tower Hotel. There are some scary segments, which may truly frighten sensitive younger viewers. Still, for older kids and adult viewers, Dunst's presence and a fairly fun story makes this an engaging film.

After watching this wonderful movie, I want to go to Disneyland to ride the Tower of Terror ride. My son just went and called me while he was on the ride. I was so jealous. This movie is great. Especially the big band feel of it. Love that era. Actors were great and I was in suspense till the end. Buy this movie!

If you are planning a trip to MGM this movie is must! It is just like the ride. My daughter and I went to MGM at Christmas and the TOT was her favorite ride. She missed it so much I bought her the movie as a rememberence. GOOD TIMES!

- Fun movie!
This is a TV movie that looks like a Disney upper tier afterschool special. There are obvious commercial breaks that should have been edited out. It's a little campy in spots, but with a little more polish, it could have been released in the theaters. The plot is good, with a twist you will see coming only if you are looking for it. Guttenberg and Dunst stand out, and Melora Hardin is so good I wonder why I haven't seen her in other films. The music is great - especially the big band scenes. The ... Read More
