BERGCAST – Episode 28 – The Woman in Black (1989)

<p>For our bumper sized Christmas episode, what better subject than a ghost story?</p> <p>Taking a deep dive into the terrifying Kneale-scripted Christmas drama The Woman in Black we're joined by Robert Taylor, author of the forthcoming book Sound Haunting: The Making of Central Films’ The Woman in Black. In a lengthy and intimate discussion, we talk about the genesis of the drama, what happened when Nigel Kneale wrote the script too quickly, how a woman in a dress and a hat standing absolutely still can chill you to the bone, and the enduring power of Christmas TV memories.</p> <p>Robert recently wrote an essay about The Woman in Black on <a href='https://www.horrifiedmagazine.co.uk/television/land-sea-fret-the-woman-in-black-1989/'>Horrified.com, which you can read here</a>.</p> <p>It only remains for us to wish you all a merry, and ghostly Christmas. We've got big news coming in the New Year, so stay tuned. Contact will remain established.</p>
