Alin Bijan's low budget film is a lesser-known entry in the canon of haunted house movies, but it's included here for a reason. The Ghost Of Goodnight Lane is based on the stories of an actual movie set which has born any number of spooky stories about mysterious goings on, which tend to be attributed to some malicious spirit that has made that particular film studio its home. Bijan not only chose to make a film based on those stories, but he also thought it would be a good idea to shoot it on the haunted set itself. Which might mean some of the ensuing stories about dodgy goings on during production were PR stunts, but at the same time, they're really quite scary. Five people had died at the studio before he turned up to make The Ghost Of Goodnight Lane, and the cast and crew experienced their own hauntings whilst there. Star Billy Zane was especially spooked, witnessing everything from flickering lights, hearing voices call his name, and ceiling fixtures collapsing to the ground.
