I've always considered this to be a good Halloween movie. They should air this on TV close to or on Halloween.
That's funny I always watch it at Christmas time.
shareIt is one of my Christmas movies too.

Some years after I moved to England (I'm American), I noticed that around Christmas the TV channels here showed supernatural, horror films. I once said to my (British) husband "Why are they showing that at this time of year?" and he explained that it is traditional to have ghost stories at Christmas, so I guess that BBC falls into, or gives a nod to, that tradition.
shareI suppose the British have retained the ghost story at Christmas more than the Americans. Although I think the US must have had this tradition at some time. The popular American Christmas song 'It's A Most Wonderful Time of the Year' mentions telling ghost stories as a Christmas tradition.
shareI always watch it on Christmas Eve, since that's what day it is when the movie begins.
