Anyone remember ? Originally broadcast in 1992 on the BBC, it effectively made the entire nation shit themselves. The common analogy is with War of The Worlds due to the panic it caused and I realised today that the DVD is out! Classic stuff. My sister couldn't sleep for days afterwards. |

You have a sister?? Ha ha ha ha ha. Only a wus would have a sister. |

Excellent heads up. I might have to buy this. |

Yep. It got a 10 year ban after release in 1992 and was re-released on DVD in 2002. I completely forgot all about it until I stumbled upon it once more whilst reading about that new film, Paranormal Activity. They don't make them like this anymore. |

Like a hypnotist, you are willingly drawn in. The most frightening thing is that they'll never be anything like this on TV again. I love the bit towards the end when it weirds out and the expert says "We've created the biggest seance"... that is creepy. |

Loved it, cacked it. Best example of "sudden appearance in a doorway" ever. I was 14 when this came out, I screamed like a woman! |

I remember being a near-pubescent boy when i watched this |
||||||||

i was 20, its the last thing that "got" me. mental illness follwed.. |

I remember it very vividly. Mid-panic, the figure by the curtain as the camera panned past... quickly panned back as though the cameraman saw something... and the figure was gone. I think what does it is the light hearted live tv approach at the start. Brilliant. |

Looking back in retrospect, it was pretty fucking daring, especially for the BBC. I doubt there will be anything in a similar ilk broadcast again on UKTV, even though we've all been completely desensitised over the years. It wasn't just cheap scares and bad makeup - it affected people much deeper, especially since the people on the show mainly did childrens programming, so we trusted them more. Yes the acting was awful in places and I never did understand why the girl had a commodore 64 under her TV in 1992, but the fact we remember it so vividly after 17 years is a testament to how great it was. Ghostwatch motherfuckers. |

I had no idea about this programme until this thread. Watching now, thanks. :) |
||||||||

What a coincidence, why didn't I see this thread?? I've never even heard of this. And I'm talking about Paranormal Activity on the other thread |

a torrent if anyone is interested in watching it again. It's going slow but it's the only seeded torrent I can find for it. It's chugging along (86.7% downloaded), so you might have to wait a few days while it downloads but it should eventually finish. |

Thankyou Zephyr x |

Yikes, that 'Pipes' fella is going to keep me from going to sleep |
||||||||
|

I'm watching it now, dl'd the youtube vids. First time I've seen it since it aired and it still has some weird power to it. I'm going to start shitting bricks in about ten minutes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bloody hell...Im too scared to watch it now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I would smash the granny out of Sarah Greene (circa 91) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember my sister talking loads about it but I missed it for some reason. Watching it now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sarah greene was hot back in the day |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is nothing more genuinely scarier than the sound of cats whailing, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so on a scale of one to ten,ten being really scary,what would you rate it as? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm now seeding this file. Looking forward to watching it in the dark this weekend with my friends. They like scary films so I'm going to surprise them with this. :D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
im seeding the xvid version too now, if anyone is too lazy to grab the DVD rip (like me) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, I must have missed the xvid version. I suppose I'll continue seeding the DVD rip just in case anyone here wants it. xvid would probably be the way to go for anyone wanting it sooner, though. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
thought it was well scary in 1992. watched it the other day and thought it was well shit. |
||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

||||||||

|
|||||||||
