    Comprehensive retrospective on a cult classic
    Ghostwatch, one of the most famous media events of all time, fondly remembered to this day. Behind the curtains offers a look into the production, transition and legacy of the legendary film. I hold the film in such high regard it stands amongst Halloween, Jaws and The Shining in my eyes.

    This documentary provides never before seen insight to how Ghostwatch came to be and with interviews with cast, crew and critics you can clearly gather how Ghostwatch affected the nation. I don't speak for others but I can confidently say that this documentary is essential viewing for anyone who enjoyed the 1992 film, while DVD copies are becoming hard to find, you can also buy the book, which I own and thoroughly enjoyed reading. My biggest regret with the documentary is I didn't watch the screening of it at Birmingham horror con in 2017. If you can, WATCH IT because it truly offers another perspective on the event that spooked a nation and the world needs more Ghostwatch, it really does.
