Tower of terror link to TV

[go cat]

Can anyone please tell me which episode of The Twilight Zone is the Tower or terror based? I would like to know what the epiode was called, which series etc I am hoping to get the DVD. Also has anyone any dates as to when the DVD of Tower of Terror will be released on reg 2.
Thanks

It's actually based on a film, I think, with Steve Guttenburg - can't remember but I think it was called Hollywood Towers or something like that.

Found a link to it - it's called Tower of Terror

The film is actually not bad ~ Not as good as POC but not as bad as HM IMO. Film was actually shot at TOT. It was on tv a while ago. I bought the film when we were in the US last year.

Actually if I'm to believe what I've been told, the film is actually based on the ride ala Pirates of the Carribbean, not the (normal) other way around. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's right - hence the movie being shot at the ride.

According to IMDB, "Disney used this TV movie to test the waters of turning Disney Theme Park attractions into movies. What followed was Mission to Mars (2000), The Country Bears (2002), _Pirates of the Carribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)_ , The Haunted Mansion (2003) and others."
