The night was uneventful until we all plopped down onto the ol' orange and brown den couch and popped in a Disney video none of us had seen. My sister had chosen it from the local video store. The movie: "Watcher in the Woods." 1) "Watcher in the Woods" To be honest, I don't even want to write about this movie since it means I have to dig deep into traumatic memories.
