Crooked House2008
“One undesirable residence – buyer beware”
Created by Mark Gatiss
The premise
Crooked House is a British supernatural drama miniseries broadcast on BBC Four from 22-24 December 2008. Created and written by Mark Gatiss, and produced by Tiger Aspect Productions, the serial stars Lee Ingleby and Gatiss. A ghost story about a cursed house. The cursed house — Geap Manor — weaves together three ghost stories set during Georgian times, the 1920s, and present day.
Horror Vault's take
Geap Manor has a long memory — and it never lets go. This BBC Four anthology miniseries from writer Mark Gatiss traces the dark history of a single cursed house across three distinct eras: Georgian England, the 1920s, and the present day. Each chapter stands alone yet feeds into a creeping sense that the building itself is the true malevolent constant. It is quintessential British ghost-story television — restrained, atmospheric, and quietly devastating.
