Anyone else watching this for Halloween today?


I am. I always watch this on Halloween and no matter how many times I see it the film still scares and fascinates me in equal measure.

In my opinion this is the best British ghost film ever made, it has a really spooky atmosphere and the period recreation is so well done it's like we are watching people and events from that time. The entire cast are excellent especially the children, I love how they were able to convey a wisdom beyond their years and come across as really creepy in many scenes.






Go to bed Frank or this is going to get ugly .

Just saw this for the first time this weekend as a belated Halloween movie and loved it! I had been meaning to see it for a while, being a fan of classic horror, and it was even better than I expected, surprisingly creepy and disturbing, especially for its time!

I just watched it today with two more days being left in September. It is finally starting to get cold, it's rather cloudy outside, and the leaves are beginning to change. It is a perfect early Fall film. It's actually perfect for any time of year but today particularly it got me in the mood for this season.
