Ghostwatch was a British Halloween TV special broadcast in 1992 that terrified many viewers who believed the fictional program was a real investigation of a haunted house. The show made use of recognized TV personalities, and told the story of a single mother of two daughters who's council estate home was being haunted by a ghost known as Pipes (The mother blaming strange noises on the house's water pipes). As the story continues, a history of ghastly goings-on in the neighborhood comes to light, of which the figure of Pipes is the latest chapter. The terror takes on national scope as the "live" broadcast acts to magnify the hauntings across the country resulting in a climax that lead to a decade-long ban on rebroadcasts of the show. Good wholesome fun. It's worth watching if you can track down a copy.
Fantastic!
