This is was the scariest movie I ever saw as a child and it's memory has haunted me for years. I would not recommend letting young children watch this film as I watched it when I was nine when I watched it and I could not look in the corner of my bedroom for about three years. I have always wondered what the movie was called and when finding it it still raised the hairs on the back of my neck and I am in my thirties . I must say I was surprised it was a Walt Disney film....... I don't know if I could watch it again even now. For it's time it was made it the special effects were obviously very effective as I have never forgotten it. I am not saying the movie is bad just that it is frightening.

I remember being fascinated by this movie when I saw it on Disney as a kid, and still have very fond memories of it some 30 years down the track.Based on the novel The Ghost Belonged to Me by Richard Peck, Child of Glass is an excellent family movie that is just scary enough to keep the kids on the edge of their seats, but not so scary that it will give them nightmares. Although it strays from the novel's turn of the century setting, the basic plot remains the same and the relationship that is built up between the ghostly Inez and the very much alive Alexander is what drives this atmospheric tale, and I still remember being enthralled by the climactic ending.I certainly hope Disney sees fit to release this on DVD very soon, as it is sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.

I lived in Canada for one year in 1978 and then moved home to Australia. During that year I saw Child of Glass on TV. I was four years old. I was obsessed with it and didn't find it scary at all - just fascinating. In recent years I have only vaguely remembered the plot. When I found out about this website I was so keen to see if what I remembered was correct. Reading other's comments I've discovered that my memories are accurate. I remembered there was a mystery that had to be solved by a child, the ghost of a little girl, a lost treasure and a well that held the answer. Almost 30 years later, I am so keen to see it again, however, I doubt I would ever be able to find it here in Australia. Instead, I will attempt to find a copy of the book and its sequel.

I finally found this movie after a long search, and it was worth the wait. I was about 7 when it appeared on television in the late '70s, and I have never forgotten it. I have a six year old girl now who was absolutely riveted by it. If you ever have a chance to rent or buy this (hard to do, its been OOP for a while), please do so. The scene where the little ghost girl Inez becomes real for a moment to dance a waltz with the little boy in the story still gets me. What a great movie!
