For our bumper sized Christmas episode, what better subject than a ghost story?
Taking a deep dive into the terrifying Kneale-scripted Christmas drama The Woman in Black we're joined by Robert Taylor, author of the forthcoming book Sound Haunting: The Making of Central Films’ The Woman in Black. In
a lengthy and intimate discussion, we talk about the genesis of the
drama, what happened when Nigel Kneale wrote the script too quickly, how
a woman in a dress and a hat standing absolutely still can chill you to
the bone, and the enduring power of Christmas TV memories.
Robert recently wrote an essay about The Woman in Black on Horrified.com, which you can read here.
It only remains for us to wish you all a merry, and ghostly Christmas. We've got big news coming in the New Year, so stay tuned. Contact will remain established.
