Ghostwatch: Behind the Curtains

Yesterday, Stephen Volk, Lesley Manning and I met up in London to discuss Ghostwatch: Behind the Curtains in further detail. Interest in the doc is now at an all-time high, and we are determined as ever to make it happen. The BtC Youtube page and Blog are still both going strong; not surprisingly, having proven especially busy around Hallowe'en - with some DVD copies of the original film at that time selling for as much as £60.00 online. Further meetings are likely to follow, with news to be posted if and when it happens.   Don't forget, the official BtC Forums are still open to anyone who wishes to register. Oh, and congratulations to Youtube user, 15098036 for becoming our 100th subscriber. Cheers!

Happy New Year, Ghostwatchers! By far the most asked question that comes the way of the blog concerns the mysterious, fleeting appearances from our notoriously elusive poltergeist, Pipes... Villainous spectre, Mr. Pipes makes an undisclosed number of physical appearances in GHOSTWATCH, currently thought to be as many as "13" [minus Cherise Wesson's sketch seen at 00:19:00].         Online rumours of another fabled sighting at 01:16:18 were later debunked by director, Lesley Manning [see below].

In June, 2008, just as things started to get going on the BtC pre-production front, Steve Volk mentioned that he was due to give a talk, partly on Ghostwatch, for the University of Glamorgan's upcoming ' Space. Time. Machine. Monster ' conference. Realising this could be a great opportunity to learn more about the original film, it didn't take long for me to find my railcard and board the next train bound for Cardiff. As I stepped out onto the platform at Treforest, I found myself amongst a towering band of verdant hillsides. The view was just spectacular. The university is only a short stroll down the road from the station… followed by just one or two ‘endurance-style’, uphill treks (but then, I was lugging some bulky camera cases...). After meeting Steve in the lobby, we entered Theatre 2 and checked out the scene. By the very nature of the vast space that was made available to us, I had a feeling that recording the sound might be a problem. The only microp...
