Fans of mockumentary horror such as Ghostwatch or the more recent Late Night With the Devil prepare to add another to your nightmarish collection with Haunted Ulster Live, which takes viewers back to Halloween night, 1998, where a live broadcast from a haunted house in Belfast goes hauntingly wrong. The footage is so disturbing that it hasn’t been seen in 25 years.
Bloody Disgusting is excited to share the Halloween-themed horror that will be released across all platforms, including our SCREAMBOX streaming service, on October 8th.
Haunted Ulster Live takes place on Halloween night. Gerry Burns (Mark Claney) teams up with popular children’s presenter Michelle Kelly (Aimee Richardson) to investigate poltergeist activity in a haunted house in Belfast. Dead Northern writes: “Ghostwatch finally meets its match with Haunted Ulster Live!”
Written and Directed by Dominic O’Neill (“Belfast 1912”), the film also stars Siobhan Kelly.
“We’re found footage fanatics, and devotees of the genre will hopefully enjoy the faux doc chills of Haunted Ulster Live,” said O’Neill. “We grew up on old Irish and British horror TV, the kind of TV that makes you want to hide behind the couch when you’re a kid! Our film is firmly rooted in 90’s Belfast, drawing from the rich well of Irish folk stories, and the conflict of that time.”
Haunted Ulster Live screened at the prestigious FrightFest Film Festival in London.
