Assisting in British films in the early '60s, Hough began directing television, with The Avengers among his credits. He returned to films as a director in 1971, and won admirers in American films of the '70s: the horror tale The Legend of Hell House, the actioner Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, and the Disney fantasies Escape to Witch Mountain and Return from Witch Mountain. Since the mid '80s Hough has worked in television. ~ All Movie Guide
