As they say in #TheStoneTape: "What I want for #Christmas is please go away"

Would pair nicely with Ghostwatch?
The Stone Tape on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/10lk
A research team from an electronics company move into an old Victorian house to start work on finding a new recording medium. When team member Jill Greeley witnesses a ghost, team director Peter Brock decides not only to analyse the apparition, which he believes is a psychic impression trapped in a stone wall (dubbed a "stone tape"), but to exorcise it too - with terrifying results...
Forgot to post this days ago:
🎥 Watched THE STONE TAPE on #Shudder & while it is laughably dated (and infuriatingly ridiculous when it comes to its sole female character) it IS eerie & compelling if you invest in the story- and there is one scene that is utterly creepy as hell, & makes up for a lot of its flaws, imo.
(It's still chauvinistic as hell, fridges the woman, & is shockingly racist in one scene. Early 70s or not, OOOF.)

The 1970s 'Horror Top Trumps' are mentioned during our discussion of #NigelKneale 's #TheStoneTape in our latest episode. Did YOU have them as a child of the 70s?

Dani has never really liked science fiction. All that silly spacerockets and pewpewgun Star Warsy stuff just doesn't interest her. But on the "I Don't Do Sci-Fi" podcast, we're going to try and change all that! In each episode, fellow presenters Rebecca and John will subject Dani to a different classic science fiction film or TV show. Most of them made before she was born! Aided by a selection of fan guests, they'll hope to convince her of just how awesome science fiction can be. But will they succeed in their mission? Join us and find out on a space odyssey full of close encounters of the nerd kind! New episodes arrive on the first Saturday of every month!
