Editorial Review:
Big-screen stars Steve Guttenberg (THREE MEN AND A LITTLE LADY) and Kirsten Dunst (DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, CRAZY/BEAUTIFUL) encounter a host of haunts in this delightfully spooky mystery! Buzzy Crocker (Guttenberg) is a hard-luck photojournalist whose unexpected encounter with an old woman leads him to investigate an unexplained, decades-old disappearance. It seems that one Halloween night, many years ago, five partygoers vanished in the elevator of the Hollywood Tower Hotel ... and ever since, their ghosts have remained trapped inside the dilapidated old building! In an action-filled story that delivers creepy fun for everyone, Buzzy ultimately teams with his niece (Dunst) to solve the mystery while managing to save their lives and capture the biggest story of the year!
Description of Tower of Terror:
Kirsten Dunst stars as plucky teen niece to Steve Guttenberg in this 1997 telefilm that sets out to provide background for one of Disney/MGM Studios' popular thrill-rides, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Guttenberg plays Buzzy, a down-on-his-luck former journalist relegated to concocting stories for a Weekly World News-inspired tabloid. When an elderly woman approaches Buzzy with a compelling ghost story, he's persuaded to investigate. Dunst is Anna, who joins Buzzy in his search to find out the truth about the mysterious 1939 disappearance of five people--including a Shirley Temple-like child star--at the eerily abandoned Hollywood Tower Hotel. There are some scary segments, which may truly frighten sensitive younger viewers. Still, for older kids and adult viewers, Dunst's presence and a fairly fun story makes this an engaging film. (Ages 8 and older) --N.F. Mendoza
Tower of Terror Reviews:
Disney's Tower of Terror 
2009-11-20 - We purchased this movie for a Halloween "Family" movie night which had kids of all ages. It had a good story & actors and it wasn't to scary for the real young children. I would recommend it especially for youngsters.
Fun and Suspense for Family Enjoyment--Especially Disney Studio's Fans
2009-09-03 - Cute movie with some light suspense and plenty of humor; great enjoyment for the family who visits and likes the Disney Studio's theme park ride "Tower of Terror"; looks like much of the movie was shot using the Disney property Hollywood Tower Hotel (you'll recognize the setting in many of the shots). A fun movie to watch with the kids!
tower of terror, fun 
2009-07-12 - Tower of Terror is a nice, clean film for families to watch. Sort of like a roller coaster, a little scary but still fun
magical!
2009-06-13 - I taped this off the tv when i was a kid and I adored it! watched it so many times! ( well you know, as children do ), but one day my dad took the tape away and i asked for it back and he told me he needed it to record over. I was so distraught! then how many years later ... i'm looking around for that movie that I always liked to watch and there it was! I didn't even remember it so it was all new to me! spooky and yet touching... like ghost whisperer. magical!
Loved it!
2009-05-30 - Eventhough it's a 20 year old movie, it rocks. I found it to be very entertaining. Disney scores again!
