  1. Biltmore: How was it? Did actually show the west circa 1880????

  2. The beginning was very well done most of the townspeople were shot and an entire building holding a half dozen women was blown up with dynamite. Drago took one of the kids heads off with a whip so there was plenty of modern day gore the horror fanatics love. Problem was the college kids were so obnoxious you were actually rooting for the ghosts. The set was average and no musical score to say of but not as bad as most SyFy or Hallmark made for TV westerns.
