10 Creepy Public Information Films

8. Last Christmas

Central Office of InformationCentral Office of InformationA young girl recounts the horrific events of her previous Christmas. Over a tinkling glockenspiel we hear how her parents left her and her brother Steven in the house while going out for a festive piss-up, only for a fire (presumably from Christmas tree lights) to start. As the camera creepily moves through the house and up the stairs we soon realise that her little brother succumbed to the fire. And as we see the sleeping girl on the bottom bunk with the top bunk stripped bare it seems the wretched parents haven't learned their lesson. The advert plays on the fears of youngsters being left alone in a house and the 1970s eeriness is still incredibly creepy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJwber5zGok
