Lemme tell y'all about the original ghoul, the first found footage horror, the one who was causing paranormal activity over a decade before Micah set up that camera. Our trope this week is found footage and we're taking a trip across the pond to discuss the poltergeist Mr. Pipes and his supernaturally effective 15 minutes of fame in 1992's Ghostwatch. From the scares, filming technique, highly entertaining and effective format, greenlighting process and 31 year legacy, we have a lot of fun to discuss in today's episode.
