The premise

Four successful elderly gentlemen, members of the Chowder Society, share a gruesome, 50-year-old secret. When one of Edward Wanderley's twin sons dies in a bizarre accident, the group begins to see a pattern of frightening events developing.

Horror Vault's take

Four distinguished New England gentlemen have spent decades bound together by a dark secret none of them dares speak aloud — until the past begins clawing its way back into the present. When tragedy strikes one of their own, a creeping dread spreads through the group as terrifying visions and inexplicable events suggest something long-buried has come to collect a debt. Based on Peter Straub's celebrated novel, this elegantly crafted chiller pairs old Hollywood gravitas with genuine Gothic unease. The sins of a single night in the 1930s cast a very long, very lethal shadow.
