CrackpotoberFest 2: Premium Episode 48 - Paranoiac Films 6: Ghostwatch, or, “Why is everything just two steps removed from Jonestown?" pt. 2, feat. Tanner Boyle
[originally published on Patreon Oct 9, 2022; you can also find the episode on Tanner's blog Getting Spooked] Today's the second of four horror movies for CrackpotoberFest 2022 - Ghostwatch (1992), and I'm joined by Fortean expert Tanner Boyle (@TannerFBoyle1) to discuss the film. Tanner walks us through the plot and we discuss the film and its themes, which include spiritualism, baby farming, psychological operations, Jimmy Savile, the Society for Psychical Research, and even, yet again, a Jonestown connection.
