Child of Glass
vainly cries the child of glass.
When the two shall be as one,
the spirit's journey will be done.
Child of Glass is a great little creepy ghost story for kids that originally aired in 1978 on Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. Starring Olivia Barash (Leila from Repo Man and my first childhood TV crush) as the Creole ghost Inez Dumaine. Also starring Denise Nickerson AKA Violet Beauregarde AKA the girl that turns into a giant blueberry in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory; though here it is the ghostly Inez that is blue tinted instead of Nickerson's character:
Be sure to check out the sweet poster for Laurel and Hardy's March of the Wooden Soldiers on the bedroom wall of young protagonist Alexander Armsworth during early scenes in the film. Kid's got good taste in wall art!
Child of Glass is a wonderful film for children of all ages and has something for all members of the family to enjoy: a blue tinted ghost, a kid falling down a well, a drunkard handyman intentionally setting fire to a barn, a young girl that mysteriously dies while under the guardianship of her insane alcoholic uncle, a Southern cotillion that starts off great but ends up a disaster, bats, a leaning gazebo, a seance conducted by children, an adult chasing kids through a graveyard with intent to kill, and a broken heirloom lamp.
They don't make 'em like they used to!
