Stranded by a heavy snowfall, they stumble upon an abandoned hotel and seek refuge for the night. But before long, they meet a menacing woman (Rad's Georgie Collins) who shares the building with her knife-wielding son (The High Country's Bill Grove) and a mysterious creature who feeds on human flesh. As the visiting trio comes under attack, they struggle to make a safe escape – and maintain their grip on reality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeaturing haunting performances from its entire cast and a typically atmospheric score by Paul Zaza (My Bloody Valentine), James Makichuk's Ghostkeeper is an essential entry in the New Year's Eve horror canon and a dread-inducing descent into wintery isolation and madness. Long regarded as the Canadian answer to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, this slasher staple is a Canuxploitation classic and one of the enduring highlights of the tax shelter era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial Features and Technical Specs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW 4K RESTORATION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efrom the only known complete 35mm theatrical print by Canadian International Pictures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eaudio commentary featuring stars Riva Spier and Murray Ord, plus co-writer\/associate producer Doug MacLeod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eaudio commentary featuring The Hysteria Continues! and author\/film historian Amanda Reyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eepisode of The New World Pictures Podcast on Ghostkeeper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGhostsneaker (2025, 16 min.) – interview with film historian Chris Alexander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Window of Opportunity (2025, 15 min.) – New interview with story consultant Dave Makichuk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI Need It Friday (2025, 10 min.) – interview with composer Paul Zaza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eZaza Begins (2025, 16 min.) – Zaza reflects on his early films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHollywood Canadians (2025, 14 min.) – Filmmakers Paul Lynch (Prom Night) and David Winning (Storm) reflect on Jim Makichuk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalgary Underground Film Festival Q\u0026amp;A (2024, 41 min.) – Post-screening discussion featuring Ord, MacLeod, and Dave Makichuk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival interview with actress Georgie Collins (2011, 14 min.) – A conversation moderated by Ord and edited by Jim Makichuk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival interview with cinematographer John Holbrook (2011, 7 min.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternate opening (1982, 2 min.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhostkeeper 2 (2013, 6 min.) – Jim Makichuk's Kickstarter video pitching a sequel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight School (1971, 2 min.) – Early Jim Makichuk short\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBooklet featuring a new essay by film journalist\/programmer Yasmina Ketita and an essay on the film's production history by Eric Volmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible cover artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternate French language audio track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish SDH subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eREGION-A \"LOCKED\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES","offers":[{"title":"BLU-RAY (WITHOUT SLIPCOVER)","offer_id":48550755139803,"sku":null,"price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6379\/4395\/files\/358059_front.jpg?v=1775165921","url":"https:\/\/baystvideo.com\/products\/ghostkeeper-1981","provider":"Bay Street Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
