Off Script: Ghostwatch (1992)

Happy Halloween, ResiCrew! On today's episode of Off Script we will discuss the horror movie Ghostwatch that aired on BBC1 on October 31st, 1992. Ghostwatch was presented deceptively as a live investigative broadcast. This live broadcast tricked viewers into believing they were watching a real haunted house investigation where a family was tormented by a ghost named "Pipes". Watched by over 11 million people, the broadcast generated tens of thousands of complaints, scrutiny over broadcasting ethics, and report of a tragic suicide.
