This above-average, made-for-TV chiller gave nightmares to a generation of youthful TV-movie junkies. Sally Farnham (Kim Darby) inherits a ramshackle mansion from her grandmother and moves in with her workaholic husband, Alex (Jim Hutton). Worried that she's not a good enough corporate wife, Sally sets about redecorating the house in anticipation of an important business party Alex wants to throw. Sally discovers a small room she thinks would make a nice study and, ignoring the warnings of an elderly handyman (William Demarest) who used to work for her grandmother, opens the room's bricked-up fireplace. Soon she's being troubled by strange phenomena: An ashtray flies...
