"we don't want to give anybody sleepless nights"

my OFFICIAL ghostwatch trailer as a part of my campaign to get people to watch this movie that I like a whole lot

warning for spoilers!!! I tried my best to leave out the best parts of the movie so as to not give too much away but I couldn't resist adding in some of the really good parts

song is the end (instrumental) by the doors

movie is ghostwatch (1992), written by stephen volk and directed by lesley manning

ghostwatch is a mockumentary horror film aired by BBC1 on halloween night 1992. it was passed off as a live broadcast although it was filmed and produced much earlier

there were an estimated 1,000,000 calls to the BBC switchboard the night of the broadcast with viewers expressing outrage, praise, and genuine belief in what they were seeing

the show became incredibly controversial in the time following the original broadcast and the film's producers eventually issued an official apology for any emotional distress caused by the program

s/o capcut for letting me auto generate captions for free and thescriptsavant.com because I had no idea what pipes was saying in the bit with the tape recorder lol

Ghostwatch (1992)

[haveyouseenthishorrormovie]

SUMMARY: In a "live" broadcast on Halloween night, a BBC team investigate a reported poltergeist in an ordinary London home.

This looks so much fun, one of those things the mod wishes she could have experienced for real! Also can anyone please let the mod know if the so-called panic was real? As in did people actually call the BBC thinking it was real?

seeing my name in the wild is so weird to me after 16 years of having a foreign and really old fashioned name

Dead Air Ep 229 - GhostWatch

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we’ll be taking you back to 1992 where we will find irrefutable proof that Dead Air exist. Tonight we cover the made for television broadcast phenomena; GhostWatchBBC 1 and host Michael Parkinson have determined to prove once and for all the existence of the paranormal and to do it they’ll set up reporters, cameras and constant live coverage of the house on Foxhill…

[dailyflicks]

The programme you're about to watch is a unique live investigation of the supernatural. It contains material which some viewers may find to be disturbing. No creaking gates, no Gothic towers, no shutter windows, yet, for the past 10 months, this house has been the focus of an astonishing barrage of supernatural activity. Ghostwatch (1992) dir. Lesley Manning

Thirty One Days of Horror Movies! Day Thirteen! :D

Ghostwatch!

It's Halloween 1992 and in Britain the BBC are doing a very special live broadcast, covering the supposedly true supernatural events occuring at a seemingly ordinary house...the increasingly sinister actions of a spectre nicknamed "Pipes" by the family....but as the night goes on and more is learned about the cause of the haunting things go from strange to downright terrifying...

So for those who haven't heard of this before, Ghostwatch is famous/infamous for supposedly having a bit of a War of the Worlds effect...on its initial broadcast it was treated as if it was a genuine documentary/news report on an actual paranormal case, even using actual well known BBC tv presenters of the time playing themselves to make the whole thing seem more authentic

I don't know if that's true or just an urban legend but whether it genuinely fooled people or not, it certainly is a fun spooky treat for the season

The actors playing the family being besieged by ghostly acitivity do a very good job of making their emotions and reacions feel genuine and there are some genuinely creepy and eerie moments as the show goes on and events escalate

If your in the mood for some eerie creepypasta-ish spookyness this Halloween season, this makes for a very entertaining ghost story to watch

halloween recs 2024 🎃

more halloween/horror recs for you all!!! these are all movies that meet at least two (if not all) of my "halloween movie" criteria, which are as follows:

set in autumn or october specifically

features halloween decorations, or typical halloween activities such as pumpkin carving, trick or treating etc

features elements of the supernatural, especially typical "halloween" characters like ghosts, witches and vampires

gothic, scary, spooky or creepy

comedic or campy

not all of these are horror; not all of the "horror" movies are scary in any quantifiable way. movies that (i think) are suitable for people who have a fairly low horror tolerance will be marked with an asterisk (*). movies that are (generally regarded as) not scary at all will be marked with a double asterisk (**).
