As part of Radio 4’s inaugural Fright Night, acclaimed British filmmaker, Peter Strickland, re-imagines this 1970s classic to bring Halloween horror to Radio 4.
The Stone Tape has been reworked by one of the most exciting British filmmakers of his generation with a script by the co-creator of Life On Mars, Matthew Graham. The drama stars Romola Garai, Julian Barratt, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Dean Andrews, Tom Bennett and Jane Asher. This is not Jane Asher’s first appearance in The Stone Tape; she played the lead in the ground-breaking and terrifying 1972 TV movie.
The Stone Tape has been mixed for online listening in binaural stereo. Working with BBC sound designers, 3D binaural sound technology developed by BBC R&D has been used to produce a special mix of this programme, giving listeners a truly immersive and spooky enhanced listening experience with their headphones.
The story is set in 1979, when a team of scientists moves into a new laboratory in a Victorian mansion. When Jill Greely hears a strange disembodied scream, the team decides to analyse the phenomenon, which appears to be a psychic impression trapped in the wall. The scientists begin to realise that their work has disturbed something hidden beneath the stone, something ancient and malevolent.
With Romola Garai as Jill Greely; Julian Rhind-Tutt as Dr Leo Cripps; Dean Andrews as Marvy Wade; Julian Barratt as Terry Briscoe; Tom Bennett as Cleft; Jane Asher as Jill’s Mother; and Eugenia Caruso as The Scream.
