The Boy Who Left Home to Find Out About the Shivers

★ 6.2/10•1984•52m•Horror•Fantasy•Family

An intelligent, fearless boy living in a superstitious Transylvanian village goes out into the world to figure out what everyone else is afraid of, "the shivers." A king hires him to rid his castle of ghosts and evil spirits, expecting him to die like all who have tried before him, but the boy is more fearless than he could have known.
