"We don't want to give anyone sleepless nights."

A pseudo-documentary Halloween broadcast that weaponizes the intimacy of live television to create mounting dread and paranoia, blurring the line between entertainment and genuine supernatural horror.

For Halloween 1992, the BBC decides to broadcast an investigation into the supernatural, hosted by TV chat-show legend Michael Parkinson. Parky (assisted by Mike Smith, Sarah Greene & Craig Charles) and a camera crew attempt to discover the truth behind the most haunted house in Britain. This ground-breaking live television experiment does not go as planned, however.
