Anyone remember a kids movie from the 80's...

[Rookie]

I remember the show you were talking about. It would have been a Disney type movie made for tv. If I remember correctly, the money was in mason jars...

Did the kids get trapped in a room under a tree?

That's the one I'm thinking about...

Is this it?
ABC Weekend Specials: "The Haunted Mansion Mystery" 1983
"ABC Weekend Specials" The Haunted Mansion Mystery (TV episode 1983) - IMDb
"When Angel Wilson and her family move into a spooky old house, their new neighbour Billy informs her the place is haunted by an old miser -- who is rumored to have disappeared with a million dollars in cash. (Which he transported from the bank in a wheelbarrow.) Learning of a secret room in the mansion's basement, the two sleuths make an astonishing discovery -- only to be trapped by a near-fatal cave-in. Now, they'll have to solve the mansion's baffling mystery, or end up missing...just like the miser and his legendary loot!"

I think that's it. I'm not really finding squat to buy it on dvd though. I found a few vhs copies on ebay though.

I don't remember The Haunted Mansion Mystery, but before that quote, it was sounding like one of the little series of episodes in The Big Blue Marble. I loved that show...

I remembered the cellar under the tree, someone else mentioned the wheelbarrow, and my Google-Fu did the rest.

what you need to do is say you have rep for the first one to answer. they'll come out the woodwork. your repshake brings all the whores to the thread

Too bad rep whores are the only kind we have on here. I'm game if someone wants to make that another classifieds section.

It was cheesy but still good. It's amazing how much movies have changed in the last 20-30 years.
