The premise
A research team from an electronics company move 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 to exorcise it too - with terrifying results...
Horror Vault's take
When a cutting-edge electronics firm sets up its research division inside a brooding Victorian mansion, one team member begins experiencing something the equipment can barely register — a presence locked inside the ancient stone walls. Team director Peter Brock seizes on the phenomenon not as a warning but as a scientific opportunity, convinced he can crack the mystery like an engineering problem. What follows is a slow-burn collision between rational ambition and something far older and more malevolent than any circuit board can contain. This landmark BBC production remains one of British horror television's most haunting and intellectually disturbing achievements.
