I need to see this. Its sounding like an Enfield Poltergeist tribute or so, right?
Yes, it’s actually based on the Enfield Poltergeist investigation.
Hey, I’m finally able to comment! 🙂
Being an American viewer, I didn’t even hear about Ghostwatch until it was released on DVD a few years back, so when I finally snagged a copy and was able to sit down and view it for the first time, I knew it was all a hoax and there was no real haunting etc. etc. So I was ready to just sit back and watch it with a knowing smile on my face, amazed that people could be so gullible.
How wrong I was! Even KNOWING it wasn’t real, even being unfamiliar with the TV presenters (except for the dude from Red Dwarf), Ghostwatch SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. During the “glory hole” scene with the howling cats, I almost–ALMOST–shut off the dvd b/c it was too intense. Even Cannibal Holocaust doesn’t provoke THAT reaction. 🙂
I can only imagine watching this as a tot.
i had the pleasure of watching this on that fateful day, and it scared the crap out of me, i was 14 so should of known better… but i really thought it was real.
To make it worse, Sarah Greene the main presenter was huge on kids tv back in the day, so we all grew up watching her, so we believed it was real.
