Intrigue levels skyrocket, leading Nami to bring a small production crew out to investigate this decrepit setting where she's certain the filming took place.

Ghostwatch 1992
Okay, so first off I did not sleep very well last night after watching this.

I was expecting something Fun(ny) so I turned all the lights out and laid out on the couch and started it up.Ghostwatch was a BBC tv movie that was made to look like a live TV broadcast of an investigation into a haunted house.
