1 Attachment(s) Got this one for Christmas today! I admit I don't really know too much about this series of shorts but from what I've been reading they sound great - very atmospheric! Just stuck on A Warning For The Curious - it was filmed not too far away from where I live. Ooh, spooky! What's everyone's favorite of these? |
THE STALLS OF BARCHESTER & A WARNING TO THE CURIOUS are probably my favourites.I have last night's screening of TRACTATE MIDDOTH to watch. |
Quite enjoyed The Tractate Middoth last night. Gatiss seemed to do a very good job of evoking a similar style to Lawrence Gordon Clark. I wonder if there'll be another updated package at the end of next year. :laugh: |
Personally my favourite episodes are Ghost Stories for Christmas with Christopher Lee. The opening titles are wonderful with a splendid set up narration about Kings College and Christmas Eve rituals. It makes you want to pour a sherry and join them sat around the fireside. Best episode - A Warning To The Curious, which features some seriously creepy shots of dark, disturbing coastline, powered along by Lee's masterful storytelling. I absolutely adore those. I still have them on recorded vhs from 2000. |

Don't suppose it's being repeated? Don't fancy watching it on my pc screen.:( Funnily enough. Christmas eve,I watched The Signalman,Stalls of Barchester and Stigma. Can't whack those old ghost stories. |
I watched The Tractate Middoth last night. As Baka says its very much in the style of Lawrence Gordon Clark's films, although probably a bit more polished. One or two parts of it were genuinely spooky and the ghost looked fantastic. At only 35 minutes in length i can't see it getting a stand alone dvd release so i presume the BFI will add it to another re-release of Ghost Stories for 2014. With a bit of luck maybe the BBC could make it an extra in a re-release of Crooked House instead. |
