      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    A spooky tale for the family to enjoy this Halloween, When Good Ghouls Go Bad is the tale of the small town of Walker Falls, which has succumbed to the curse of Curtis Danko. A loner who died mysteriously, Danko threatened the citizens of Walker Falls to never celebrate another Halloween. When 12-year-old Danny Walker comes to town and learns of Curtis Danko

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture pops from the screen with beautiful fall colors like rich oranges and deep reds. Fleshtones are nicely balanced, and blacks are deep and solid. While the picture can be generally sharp and detailed, minor smearing and lack of fine background definition lend to an overall soft character. Contrast and shadow delineation are satisfying. Minor pixelization is occasionally noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #57 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    WSR is the ONLY magazine, let alone A/V magazine I read. The insightful information about current and impending technological advancements allow me to make appropriate decisions about equipment purchases. WSR gives me the straight goods on which equipment to buy for current AND future use!
