Both staff and customers reckon a resident spook is to blame for the strange noises, icy temperatures, and fleeting shadows they've been witnessing regularly. So is this a case for the ghostbusters or is it simply a clumsy projectionist and a dodgy air-conditioning system?

Co-manager Bharti Parmar said: "When it was the Co-op, they used to say it was haunted, and there's been some strange goings-on in screen six since we opened. I ensure I've got someone with me when I go in there!"

Herald & Post film reviewer Matt Adcock said: "As a Christian I do believe that there are spiritual forces operating among us, both for good and evil. Having reviewed some ropey films in screen six I can't believe it's a positive influence. Perhaps it's the ghost of a bad
filmmaker being punished by having to sit through countless showings of films like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?"

Now film fans are being dared to venture into screen six this Hallowe'en Saturday for a 12.15am showing of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake.

Enter if you dare...
