A Pleasant Terror: The Life and Ghosts of M.R. James
A biopic on the author M. R. James. If M.R. James wrote his ghost stories purely to entertain his friends, why do they seem to strike such resonances in readers? Why are they so terrifying? Clive Dunn's fifty minute documentary sets out to try to answer this question. In the words of its fictional narrator, nicely played by Dangerfield's Bill Wallis, "was there something that made [Monty James] believe that evil and malice could become palpable?"
Director: Clive Dunn
Cast: Michael Elwyn, Bill Wallis, Christopher Lee
