Synopsis:
I was surprised to finally find this series as the DVD only recently became available.The serial was an adaptation of Catherine Storr's novel 'Marianne Dreams', and deals with a young girl, Marianne, whose drawings become the basis for dreams, and how the dividing line between dreams and reality blurs. The novel was later adapted into a 1988 film, 'Paperhouse' [https://www.first-loves.com/forums/v ... Paperhouse].

I really liked the creepy atmosphere of 'Paperhouse' and the story had a few tense moments. (Plus Charlotte Burke was appealing in a tomboyish sort of way...
THIS series follows the book a bit closer and has a more claustrophobic atmosphere. Because it shares similarities with the novel, the chills are designed more for children. Vikki Chambers is cute...
Enjoy!
