The Haunted Mouth

About This Movie

So, The Haunted Mouth is this quirky mix of documentary, family, and horror that’s unlike anything else from the '70s. The whole premise is centered around a haunted house inhabited by an unseen spirit of plaque, which wields its eerie powers to possess rocking chairs. It’s a strange but effective way of delivering dental hygiene messages to kids, blending a spooky atmosphere with the seriousness of oral care. The pacing is a bit peculiar; it oscillates between moments of genuine tension and educational segments that might feel disjointed but serve their purpose. The practical effects – like the rocking chairs moving on their own – have that charming retro vibe, making it distinctively '70s. Not a lot of people know about this one, but it’s definitely a conversation starter if you dig into educational horror.

The Haunted Mouth remains a rarity in collector circles, primarily due to its niche theme and oddball concept. It was released in limited formats, making it a bit harder to find than your average '70s flick. There have been a few VHS copies floating around, and those are often sought after for their unique packaging and vintage appeal. Interest seems to be growing among collectors who appreciate quirky educational films, but it still flies under the radar for most casual viewers.
