The Stone Tape (1972)

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.)

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!
