BBC Ghost Stories: Whistle and I'Il Come to You (1968 + 2010)+
A film by Jonathan MiIler (1968) Andy De Emmony (2010)
As a Christmas treat in the Iate 1960s and 70s, the BBC produced adaptations of ghost stories based on the works of M R James, the Cambridge academic and author of some of the most spine-tingIing taIes in the English language, which were broadcast to terrified viewers in the dead of winter. This was a tradition that was briefIy revived by the BBC between 2007 and 2010.
These adaptations, which have a subtlety and styIe aII of their own, have been a major infIuence on many contemporary British horror fiImmakers and have come to be some of the most sought after British TV titIes by their legions of eager fans.
Whistle and I'Il Come to You (1968)
A film by Jonathan MilIer
When a scepticaI professor, played with eccentric intensity in a brilliant performance by Michael Hordern, finds an oId whistle on a Norfolk beach he unleashes a horrifying monster from the depths of his psyche
