Non-believers and paraskevidekatriaphobics, beware! Today is indeed Friday the 13th, and in celebration of this creepy, horror-filled holiday, the team behind The Woman in Black have shared with us a new behind-the-scenes look at what goes into “Creating a Classic Ghost Story”. In addition they’ve put together a Tumblr page giving you all the tell-tale clues that your place is, shall we say, “occupied” by spirits!
Featuring exclusive interviews with cast members and the filmmakers, “Creating a Classic Ghost Story” is a behind-the-scenes look at what makes a classic, atmospheric ghost tale and how writer Jane Goldman alongside production company Hammer Films drew inspiration from Susan Hill’s acclaimed novel and previous versions to create the film.

Joining star Daniel Radcliffe are Ciaran Hinds, Janet McTeer, Liz White, Alisa Khazanova, Tim McMullan, Roger Allam, Daniel Cerqueira, Shaun Dooley, Mary Stockley, Cathy Sara, David Burke, Victor McGuire, and Lucy May Barker. James Watkins (Eden Lake) is at the directorial helm with a screenplay by Jane Goldman.
The Woman in Black follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote corner of the UK and sort out a recently deceased client’s papers. As he works alone in an old and isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover its tragic secrets, and his unease grows when he discovers that the local village is held hostage by the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance.
Look for The Woman in Black in US theatres on February 3rd, 2012. The UK will be getting it on February 10th, 2012.
