I finally got to watch last December's "Ghost Story for Christmas." Definitely Mark Gatiss' best so far. I enjoyed it so much, I watched it twice.

Despite what the snobby M, R. James crowd constantly spout, Stigma is clearly the best of the original series of A Ghost Story for Christmas. Lawrence Gordon Clark’s masterpiece is truly terrifying.

Quick note on THE ROOM IN THE TOWER - Tobias Menzies did all the heavy lifting and did it beautifully; a powerfully introspective performance from an actor I much admire. I'll watch it again. In a year or so... #GhostStoryForChristmas
Thoroughly enjoyed the new #GhostStoryForChristmas The Room In The Tower. It really captured the atmosphere of the story

After watching Stigma A Ghost Story for Christmas last night. Decided a run out to Avebury was on the cards for today. #Avebury #GhostStoryforChristmas
In nice news, I finally watched Woman of Stone and really enjoyed it. Good to see Nesbit's short stories getting wider coverage. There was also something quite Kneale-esque about it, with a central woman surrounded by unpleasant men. #ghoststoryforchristmas
Have written a new blog — on The Signalman.

Warning to the curious: it’s basically ALL spoilers.

For me, the most disturbing part of #GhostStoryforChristmas is always the absolute terror on the face of the victim. The inability to move, to save themselves, to even make a sound. Opening their mouth to scream & nothing coming out. Everything surrenders to the inevitability of death.
A bit of post-Christmas light entertainment/ Yuletide spookiness. Thanks Santa 🎅🏻👻👀

‘There were legends both on the front and on the back of the whistle, reading:
Scio quid volo
Nunc id volo
Volo te
Quia ego sum homo sui obsessus
“I ought to be able to make it out," Parkin thought; "but I suppose I am a little rusty in my Latin.”’
#GhostStoryForChristmas
According to Norwegian folklore, the dead would have their own midnight mass in churches on Christmas Eve. It was believed that anyone who dared participate in the Christmas mass of the dead wouldn't get out alive.

The Ghost Story For Christmas was okay, but with the overarching theme I kind of wish it had been adapted and directed by a woman. Having it done by a man kind of leaves it lacking
