- Synopsis
- Ghostwatch is a British horror-mockumentary television movie that aired on BBC One on October 31 (Halloween), 1992. Despite having been recorded weeks in advance, the narrative was presented as 'live' television. Due to the furore that followed its first and only UK television broadcast, the film is now widely regarded as being one of the most controversial British television events in recent years.
The film was produced for the BBC's Screen One anthology film series by Richard Broke, Ruth Baumgarten and Derek Nelson. It was written by Stephen Volk, and directed by Lesley Manning.
As yet, Ghostwatch has only ever been repeated on television outside of the UK - on stations such as the Canadian digital channel SCREAM for Halloween 2004, and the Dutch channel Canvas in 2008.
In 2002, the British Film Institute released a 10th Anniversary edition on VHS and DVD.
A retrospective documentary (Ghostwatch: Behind the Curtains) based on the film's lasting impact has been in production since late 2007, and is said to be backed by many of the film's original cast and crew.- Rankings Position
