The lead characters include Dr. Hook, played by long-lost Brat Packer Andrew McCarthy, a "brilliant" surgeon who isn't so brilliant that he can find a home outside the hospital basement or a hobby outside of collecting scalpels. Diane Ladd is Mrs. Druse, a "psychic hypochondriac." Bruce Davison plays Dr. Stegman, a hopelessly incompetent yet arrogant doctor. Naturally, the spirits of the child workers who died...
