I can't imagine how scary this must have been when it aired in 1992 and people couldn't look up online or discuss what they were watching.

I read online that if people called the phone number, it would say that it was fiction but since there were 1 million calls, a lot of people never heard that. According to Wikipedia, one person took his own life after watching this, believing he also heard a ghost.

I can imagine the controversy but watching this today proofed it stood the test of time. Michael Parkinson was by far the most believable actor here. Some other actors felt less believable (but that's because I was trying to spot fake things).

Truly felt like a Paranormal Activity movie, 15 years before the first one came out. Scary from start to finish, I could see myself rewatching this for Halloween.
