Tower of Terror (film)

Tower of Terror is a 1997 made-for-TV supernatural thriller film directed by D. J. MacHale. It is based on the theme park attraction, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, at Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida and was originally a presentation of The Wonderful World of Disney. It is also Disney's first film based on an attraction at one of its theme parks, followed by Mission to Mars (2000), The Country Bears (2002), Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and The Haunted Mansion (both 2003), and the last three Pirates of the Caribbean films (2006, 2007 and 2011).

Unlike the theme park ride, the film has no connection to any incarnation of The Twilight Zone.

Much of the film was shot at the actual attraction at Disney-MGM Studios (now Disney's Hollywood Studios). The rest was filmed on a closed stage in Hollywood, California.
