Creepy goings on in Eyam
21 October 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I've just seen Out of the Darkness for the first time and found it rather creepy. It's now available on DVD as part of the Children's Film Foundation Scary Stories collection, released by BFI.

A family decide to buy a cottage in the plague village of Eyam, unaware the area is haunted. These hauntings are all connected to the plague, in particular the ghost of a boy. So, the brother and sister of the family and their friend decide to investigate...

Rather creepy at times, Out of the Darkness was actually shot on location in Eyam and the surrounding area, including the Winnats Pass.

Well worth a look, it's good to see that the BFI have released several Children's Film Foundation movies on DVD. I watched these when they came on TV back in the 1980s/1990s.
