You would have thought Western civilization would have grown up in the
intervening 54 years. I think it largely had.

Not really. We had the same sort of panic over the Blair Witch film because some
people thought it was real. And millions of people still believe the Bible.

Yawn. Never mind there is a new Ghostbusters film in production.
Apparently they are recruiting 'babes' for assistants with no doubt very
silly consequences. Sounds like the script might be so bad, their only hope
is to give the guys eye candy to distract them.

I see you're trying to bring the exquisite textual
quality of twitter to USENET.

At the time it was great stuff. Got a copy a while ago, as I heavily got
in
to "fake" shows and movies. Got my older kids to watch it, with out
knowing
what it really was. It scared them on a level I've never seen before
because
they has no idea it was staged. I thought it was a superb bit of TV. It
was
a shame the BBC shat themselves and compromised it.


what did th bbc do?

They put up some logos and credits at the beginning, thus telling everone it
was a drama. Instead of letting it roll, leaving people to decide. The scam
was blown.





If you've seen too much, care to share what other shows of this type

i admit it was well done, but the fetish didnt tick. a ton of pics
where the apocalypse shown from a media station, thou admittedly right
now none from a seance, but still, dead set, wrong is right, dead air,
and as for ghosts, nothing beats my thing for poltergeist, and as for
recent stuff, i thought house of the devil rather groovy

but yeah, mostly i was comparing it with greats like dead set or
poltergeist and all it did was remind me of REC/quarantine

It has nothing in common with Dead Set or Poltergeist what so ever.

It was supposed to look like a real live event. It was trailed as a real
live event. It was supposed to be a huge War of the Worlds type hoax. And it
worked every well for those who missed the opening 5 seconds.

What the hell are you talking about?
If it's a movie, why are you posting this off-topic article here?

Given the x-posts, how will the OP know where "here" is?

In his first post Blobby is arguing that the opinion expressed in your
sig is lunatic.

In his second post he's arguing that you are a lunatic, as
demonstrated by you referring to yourself as "us".

The term lunatic was once used to refer to proponents of the Method of

Well, that and the fact that it was shown as part of the Screen One
series that year, which was a bit of a giveaway.
