Review Summary
Carol Ann and her family move in with grandma after their house is destroyed by poltergiests. Then the clairvoyant midget finds out that the beast they supposedly destoyed is alive and well and is looking for Carol Ann. Turns out the beast is really a creepy old psycho preacher's ghost. The midget sends a Native American shaman to help them fight them beast just in the nick of time. The family has to return to their old house to kick the beast's butt back into the light, which they do with help from dead grandma.
