If you loved The Stone Tape, try these.

Ghostwatch poster 01

Movie / 1992 / Horror

Ghostwatch

Why this pick

Like The Stone Tape, it treats haunting as an unsettling investigation shaped by broadcast technology, building dread through procedural realism and a cool, increasingly destabilised atmosphere.

The Legend of Hell House poster 02

Movie / 1973 / Horror

The Legend of Hell House

Why this pick

A scientific team enters a notoriously violent house and attempts to explain its phenomena, closely echoing The Stone Tape’s clash between rational inquiry, hostile architecture, and psychic terror.

The Changeling poster 03

Movie / 1980 / Horror / Thriller

The Changeling

Why this pick

Its measured, mournful haunted-house investigation shares The Stone Tape’s patient escalation, architectural unease, and fascination with the past leaving a tangible, dangerous imprint.

The Entity poster 04

Movie / 1982 / Horror / Thriller

The Entity

Why this pick

This blends paranormal horror with determined attempts at observation and proof, retaining the bleak seriousness and invasive, almost clinical supernatural menace of The Stone Tape.

The Woman in Black poster 05

Movie / 1989 / Horror

The Woman in Black

Why this pick

This austere television ghost story favours mounting dread, an isolated old building, and the sense that buried trauma has become a malign physical presence.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

A research team from an electronics company moves into an old Victorian house to start work on finding a new recording medium. When team member Jill Greeley witnesses a ghost, team director Peter Brock decides not only to analyse the apparition, which he believes is a psychic impression trapped in a stone wall (dubbed a "stone tape"), but also to exorcise it--with terrifying results.
