Haunted Castle: For the home viewer this movie showcases the same amazing 3D effects as the original film shown in IMAX theaters - a top choice for 3D effects fanatics! Although this title is listed in the horror category, it's more of a fun, family movie based on a scary storyline. Digitally remastered from the original Large-Format film, this is probably one of the best 3D movies on our website.

The Storyline: The plot centers on Johnny, a young musician, who is summoned to his mother’s castle in accordance with her final wishes. His mother, a famous, yet reclusive, aging rock star, has spent her final days isolated in the mysterious old building and hasn’t seen her son since he was three years old.

Upon his arrival, Johnny begins to discover that things are not as they appear. The castle begins to come alive as materializing spirits lead him to Mephisto, the ghoulish henchman, and to Mr. D, the castle’s custodian of evil (both voiced by Harry Shearer). Mephisto informs Johnny that Mr. D has been waiting for him and that all of Johnny’s questions will soon be answered.

When Johnny ventures further, an unexpected visage appears from beyond the grave - his disembodied mother. She warns her son to take heed: an evil presence lurks deep within the castle. Mr. D appears out of the flames of the fireplace and makes Johnny a tantalizing offer. The same offer, Johnny learns, that his mother accepted over twenty years earlier: surrender your soul in exchange for unparalleled fame and fortune.

Before Johnny can answer, Mr. D suggests that he accompany Mephisto on a tour of the more “restricted” areas of the castle in order to help solidify his decision. In a whirling 3D-visual thrill ride, Johnny explores the underworld of the castle and observes the fate of those musicians who dared to cross Mr. D.

These unfortunate souls now exist in a state of perpetual doom, the most tortured being opera singers - Mr. D’s most despised tenants. As Johnny makes his way back to Mr. D’s lair with his decision, the spirit of his mother appears and urges him to leave the castle while he still can - alive!

Johnny disregards his mother’s advice and confronts Mr. D. By summoning the power of opera, Mr. D’s Achilles heel, Johnny destroys Mr. D and Mephisto in an explosive climactic performance that saves him from evil and ultimately frees his mother’s spirit.
