Film Description
BBC TV's 1992 Halloween special caused a storm of controversy recalling that following Orson Welles' US radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds in 1938. It still has the power to unnerve. The programme ostensibly went out as a 'live' telecast about a haunted house on a North London estate, with Michael Parkinson as the anchor man in the studio, Mike Smith presenting the phone-in, Sarah Greene as the reporter in the house itself, and Craig Charles as the Outside Broadcast interviewer.
In the days following the transmission, frenzied tabloid headlines accused the BBC of irresponsibility, irate parents accused them of causing their children to have nightmares, and not a few wrote to accuse them of having a pact with Satan.

This programme was extremely well made. I found it enjoyable and I don't believe that another programme has been made as well since.
