So I watched Lost Hearts (1973) and it had this boy going to this old house and the man there was all weird and creepy and manic and the boy kept seeing these ghost children.

Then the boy and girl ghosts are all blue with long nails and they do this funky swaying dance to the music of the hurdy-gurdy.

And the alive boy goes into a trance and they show him their wounds on their chests.

Quite fun, that one.

Next on #ghoststoriesforchristmas/ A Warning to the Curious (1972). A proper classic this time round - great adaptation of the MR James story. Peter Vaughan’s Paxton is a much more sympathetic character than many of James’ academics: a clerk made recently redundant taking the time to explore his interest in archaeology. Unfortunately he’ll meet the same end as many of his less sympathetic colleagues. #ghosts #ghoststories

Next instalment of #ghoststoriesforchristmas: A View From a Hill (2005). Excellent reboot going back to James’ source material. Classic set up: the upright academic meddles in things he shouldn’t with the inevitable consequences. Slow moving with sparse dialogue, building the tension. Notable for mainly taking place in bright sunlight - and extra points for a 70s style freeze frame at the end. #mrjames #ghoststories #ghosts

Listen to Linda Gould's wonderful reading of the Charles Dickens' Christmas story The Goblins who Stole a Sexton on her Kaidankai podcast. Published 7 years before A Christmas Carol, it has many similarities & can be seen as a prototype for the more famous story.
