The Frighteners
Peter Jackson's wild horror-comedy principally filmed in Lyttelton, and starring Michael J. Fox as a psychic con-artist who uses a trio of ghosts he's befriended to 'haunt' houses that he later 'cleanses'. Danny Elfman signed on to do the soundtrack without even knowing what the project was, as he was such a fan of Jackson's previous film, 'Heavenly Creatures'.
