VIDEO : The House With A Clock In Its Walls Delivers Spooky Fun

The House with a Clock in Its Walls is a magical, kid-friendly horror flick with exceptionally fun performances by Jack Black and Cate Blanchett. The House with a Clock in Its Walls follows in the long Hollywood tradition of adapting classic children's novels for family-friendly fare. Earlier this year, Disney didn't quite hit the mark with their big-budget adaptation of A Wrinkle In Time, but not for lack of trying on director Ava DuVernay's part. Now, Universal sets out to adapt the arguably lesser known 1973 mystery children's story The House with a Clock in Its Walls written by John Bellairs, with illustratrations by Edward Gorey.
