Synopsis

Based on the true events of Britain's most famous and horrifying haunting, WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT is the story of a down-to-earth Yorkshire family and the malevolent spirit who turns their existence upside down.

Set in the 1970s, the Maynard family and their teenage daughter Sally (Tasha Connor) move into their dream home in a small town in the North-West of England, only to realise that it isn’t so perfect after all. There is a presence living amongst them who is set to disturbingly disrupt their lives.

Len (Steven Waddington) and Jenny (Kate Ashfield) struggle to keep the already-fragile family together under the ghost's onslaught, as sinister echoes from the distant past start to reveal its true, sordid nature.

And as things worsen, it becomes apparent that the young daughter Sally is the main focus of its attentions. All must come together to fight the evil spirit if she is to survive.

Ominous, disturbing and deeply chilling, When The Lights Went Out is a terrifying British horror to make your blood curdle.
