WNUF Halloween Special

In the organizer's words:

Presented in (dis)harmony The series for the offbeat film

With introduction and surprise program. Original English version (OV).

On October 31, 1987, local station WNUF broadcasts a paranormal special. In this live broadcast, TV journalist Frank Stewart wants to take a closer look at the notorious Webber House, where a gruesome family murder took place years ago. The house has been haunted ever since, with curious teenagers allegedly disappearing from time to time and even the police reporting ghostly activity. Together with ghost-hunting couple Louis and Claire Berger, a Catholic priest and a cameraman, Frank investigates the house, quite annoyed by this special assignment and unwilling to take the haunting seriously. But the events in the house escalate and the WNUF HALLOWEEN SPECIAL is never broadcast again until today.

This indie horror from 2013 manages the retro fake perfectly, and with a reported budget of 1500 US dollars. From the look of the TV production to the behavior of non-TV-savvy participants to the grueling commercial breaks, rarely has the late 80s been so dryly captured as in the WNUF HALLOWEEN SPECIAL. The first American answer to the UK's GHOST WATCH is a well-crafted lost-transmission-found-footage satire, with explicit commentary on Satanic Panic and US TV trash like Geraldo Rivera. Fans of this year's box office success LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL should get their money's worth with the WNUF HALLOWEEN SPECIAL. Screening in the original English version.

Length: 83 minutes, Director: Chris LaMartina
