THE PLEASANT TERROR: THE LIFE AND GHOSTS OF M.R. JAMES-1995-Very English documentary-biography with re-enactments about the master ghost story writer M.R. James trying to find a link as to why an Eton scholar and devout Christian wrote such eerie stories basically as a side line. On screen narrator Bob Wallis concludes he could have had a supernatural encounter when he was a boy. Authors like Ruth Rendell offer their opinions and Christopher Lee appears at the beginning. Shown in three parts. Directed by Clive Dunn.


Thanks for reading! 

Bonus: John Mayall sings about another Mr. James, Elmore to be exact:
