Irish Halloween Mockumentary ‘Haunted Ulster Live’ Screambox Stream Date Announced
The new 1990s-set Irish Halloween horror movie Haunted Ulster Live will premiere on Screambox this October, and we now have the release date and a new poster. Read on for today’s press release.
On Halloween night 1998, a live broadcast from a haunted house went terrifyingly wrong. Witness the disturbing footage when SCREAMBOX Original Haunted Ulster Live streams on October 8.
A Northern Ireland TV veteran teams up with a popular new children’s presenter to investigate poltergeist activity in a reputedly haunted house in Belfast. Light entertainment turns to horror when an unseen terror reveals itself.
Drawing comparisons to Ghostwatch and Late Night with the Devil, the UK found footage film marks the feature debut of writer-director Dominic O’Neill. Mark Claney, Aimee Richardson, and Siobhan Kelly star.
“We’re found footage fanatics, and devotees of the genre will hopefully enjoy the faux doc chills of Haunted Ulster Live,” says 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 ‘90s Belfast, drawing from the rich well of Irish folk stories and the conflict of that time.”
Haunted Ulster Live premieres on Screambox on October 8.
You can watch the official trailer, as well as our exclusive interview from earlier this year with writer/director Dominic O’Neill, and see the new poster below.
