A little known but outstandingly eerie, creepy film! I'll never forget seeing this movie 30 years ago when it first aired on TV. I was only 11 then but I never forgot it! It is not very well known but it is very creepy in a subtle, slow, underhanded sort of way, which I think is the best form of horror! There is one scene in this movie I can remember seeing back when it first aired that creeped me out in a big way and still does for some odd reason - the main character, Nick, is standing out on his back porch late at night and he THINKS he sees this image of a couple dancing in a nearby cornfield. It is a fertility dance of some sort but there was just something about that scene that was really creepy. I think it's because you're not sure whether or not he is really seeing this or if he's just imagining it all. That in itself is an eerie concept. Watch this movie and it'll surely make you wary of spending time in small, out of the way towns!
We Need a Full Length DVD, VHS version is OK though. I am a die-hard fan of both Bette Davis & author Thomas Tyron. This is the greatest old school horror film I ever read or saw as a teenager in the 1970's. Yes, I bought the edited VHS version a couple of years ago. I am glad to have it as it is so rare. However, should the powers that be EVER decide to release this in all it's 4 hour glory, I would definately buy it again. This could really happen in real life. That is what makes it so Creepy. Very Halloweeny too. Cant understand why this is not remastered and available on DVD. Since the tape version is all we have, it may not be for everyone. 4 stars for a Killer story anyway.

Top notch old horror I loved this movie as a teenager like many of your other reviewers. I would love to see this redone on DVD especially all of it. I was planning to order the VHS, but was disappointed to hear it was not the complete series.
Watching the recent Wicker Man reminded me of Harvest Home & seeing Michael O'Keefe on various shows. Would definitely love to buy a DVD set!
Can't remember all the details now, but know I enjoyed it. What I do remember would be spoilers.
Dark Secret of Harvest Home This is by far one of the best horror movies, of all time. Mainly because it could happen. I can't believe it was never remastered as so many other movies have been. Who do we talk to, to get this done?
Yet another great mini-series given a brutal hatchet job! I saw this series when it came out on TV. It was a great movie and scared me silly as a kid. I searched for some time to find a copy of it and I was disappointed to find that it did not include the entires series, consequently the movie is watered down with a lot of gaps that keep it from making complete sense. Bette Davis was truly creepy as the Widow Fortune and very young Rosanna Arquette does a passable job as the Constantine's spoiled asthmatic daughter. Having said that it's a great Halloween flick without any gorey scenes but a lot of suspense.
Please release and restore the enite series without any cuts. I would definitely buy it.
