Broadcast in the dying hours of Christmas Eve, the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas series was a fixture of the seasonal schedules throughout the 1970s and spawned a long tradition of chilling tales, which terrified yuletide viewers for decades to come. These spare, atmospheric dramas ran from 30 to 50 minutes and drew heavily on the stories of horror-fiction pioneer M.R. James. Often set in Victorian and Edwardian times, these compact ghost stories play brilliantly with the power of suggestion. We’ll be presenting a selection of a few of the finest films in this series to give you a chill this Christmas.
