Spectre (also known as House of the Damned)^[1] is a 1996 American-Irish horror film directed by Scott Levy and starring Greg Evigan and Alexandra Paul. The film follows an American family who move into an Irish mansion haunted by a multitude of ghosts.

Plot

Two maids are sent to clean Glen Abbey Manor and encounter some creepy occurrences, and let's just say that one maid doesn't make it out alive. The movie then starts with Will and Maura South, a seemingly happy couple with marital problems, with a daughter named Aubrey. Maura inherits the mansion and the family moves in. (Just to say, that the problem with haunted house movies is that the people can always leave, unless for these reasons: 1. They are trapped in the house, 2. The people aren't superstitious and don't pay attention to occurrences, 3. There are payed or rewarded for staying there.) In this case, they don't leave because of #2 on the list: they don't become very superstitous. That is, until their daughter is kidnapped by angry spirits. The family then finds the body a young girl named Colleen Laundrigan in their cellar.
