31 DAYS OF DREW - DAY 15: GHOSTWATCH

Every horrorhound's favorite month is upon us, and to celebrate, I'll be dishing out a personal pick from the genre for every day in October. Some will be obvious and rather unoriginal (sorry that I like movies other people like), while some will be a little more oddball and off-the-wall. Some may even challenge your idea of what constitutes a "horror" movie. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the month with some good movies, even if they aren't ones I recommend!

Today's Pick: Ghostwatch (1992)


Thanks to being a cable-free household, I avoid being inundated with so-called "reality" television every day. I despise the format, as it offers nothing truly compelling while trying to pass itself off as documenting real events and real emotions. The level of fiction that goes into modern "reality" television muddies the creative enjoyment I wish to experience. However, that deceptive reality is exactly what made Ghostwatch such a memorable and effective experience when it originally aired on the BBC back in 1992. People thought it was a real program, and that made the events that took place far more terrifying.
