Christmas Eve , in our house, means a 'Creepy Film'

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

Not a horror film though
I started watching The Woman In Black one year but chickened out well before anything got started.

Something along the lines of "Ctooked House" "whistle and I'll Come to You" or "The Turn of the Screw"

What would you recommend?
Something a bit "Oh" but not having me hide under the uvet with nightmares.

So, no , not THAT episode of Luther !

The Stone Tape is great. There's also an old early 70s series called Dead of Night which is creepy as hell. Most of the episodes were lost but there are three remaining which you can get on DVD.

The film called Dead of Night (1945) is very entertaining and the sequence with the ventriloquists dummy is horrifying.

If you're looking at Guillermo Del Toro films I'd recommend Chronos or The Devil's Backbone for something good and creepy over Crimson Peak. CP looks pretty enough but (surprisingly for Del Toro) is rather thin on substance.

You can buy the box set of the BBC's 'ghost stories for Christmas' on amazon. We got it last year and watched an episode each evening on the run up to Christmas Day. It includes Whistle and I'll Come to You, and other creepy (but not gruesome) tales :)

Black Mirror is excellent! I am not really bothered about TV normally but DP and I watched all of these over the course of 2 days!
