Nov 12, 1984 · The House of Dies Drear: Directed by Allan A. Goldstein. With Howard E. Rollins Jr., Shavar Ross, Gloria Foster, Moses Gunn. A young black man and his family move into a home in rural Ohio, and discover that during the Civil War it was used by a Dutch immigrant to smuggle runaway slaves to freedom.
