Sat down with the #101films release of Ghostwatch last night.
Feels impossible to be objective about such a landmark bit of hoaxery but I'm pretty certain it still holds up.
The tricks and in-camera sleight-of-hand are SO much fun.
Pipes still manages to be genuinely spooky!
(Also Craig Charles at the height of his powers.)
Plus it came with all sorts of papery nonsense like an annotated copy of the script. ACE!
