Ghostwatch takes the found footage genre and not only flips it on its head completely but also creates one of the most unique and shocking television experiences of the last thirty years. Written by Stephen Volk and directed by Lesley Manning, the TV film features an ensemble cast of well-known BBC news personalities who look to determine if a house in rural London is truly haunted or if it's just a hoax. Chris and Eric are joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to analyze the controversial program along with interviews with creator Stephen Volk and director Lesley Manning about the conception, airing, and legacy of the show.
