The "movie sequel" has a runtime of approx. 80 mins and parodies "straight to DVD" films. Two storylines occur during the video.

Unlike Le Chateau Macabre, BJ:MD is swamped with continuity errors. There are lots of AGS in-jokes, movies references & nods to Chateau Macabre. Lovegrove said "Some people found Chateau quite bleak - I wanted the sequel to be a lot more fun, more gothic looking, have a bigger adventure feel and a better payoff." | Unlike Le Chateau Macabre, BJ:MD is swamped with continuity errors.

==Deleted Scenes== | |||
1. "Rail Station at Night". Part of an original storyline in the UK, the rail station at night introduced Birkett & Lovegrove as freelance police set to investigate the story on the UK side. Simon Loveridge appeared briefly as Jack Slater (from Ginger In The Dark 2) before attempting to hunt down the "monster" and get killed. This storyline was scrapped. | |||
2. "Chris Jones' Speech". When the guests give the speech in the AGS mansion, there was to be an extended speech about ghost hunting by Chris Jones. Unfortunately the audio had errors and the scene slowed down the pacing of the film, and it was removed. | |||
3. "Ben In The Bedroom". The original phone call to Ben was filmed in his bedroom rather than kitchen, and had some different lines, but was re-shot. | |||
