It would be nice if it was made again, I don't see why not as they have made a number of versions of the Haunted House game over the years, I think 'Ghost Train' would be just as popular too.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109524957979094787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-63827330298138468422011-07-04T21:58:06.525+00:002011-07-04T21:58:06.525+00:00Hi Mr.Vampire, yes the way you described the game ...Hi Mr.Vampire, yes the way you described the game sounds about right, thank you.

We used to play this when we were kids back in the 70s, have just played it with my 14 year old son and he loves it, all the parts are still in the box- bit bent but still work. This was a brilliant game to play, why dont they bring them back.

At the end if you landed at the door, instead of passing through it, the spider would swing down to knock you out of the game.<br />I remember thinking the game was awesome. wish I still had it.MrVampirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697037793473062839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507856.post-36486194317792338892009-07-26T20:54:47.930+00:002009-07-26T20:54:47.930+00:00Hi Billy
