NOTES: The Candle-lighters are a group of three friends who regularly meet and call upon spirits using a Ouija board. But when a new member joins the group, things begin to turn from bad to worse, as trust is thrown out of the window and neither friend can tell who is really who. In the sequel, a group of three different friends, this time sisters, arrive at their rented accommodation, but their fun weekend away turns into a fight for survival as the mystery of why people are possessed and drawn down into the cellar underneath Martha’s old house is finally revealed.

Candle-lighters was officially McT Productions (later McT Movies) first film shot in October, 2003. It was improvised dialogue, mostly shot and directed by Thomas McNab. Additional scenes were shot by Haley McNab and Eleanor Tordoff. An early cut was edited using Windows Movie Maker in 2003, but the final version was released on Geocities in RealVideo format, Summer 2004. The film was named in honour of the charity Candelighters, whose cabins in Bridlington were used as the filming locations for The Clown. The Trailer was unique footage shot in 2004 featuring no cast, intended to tease an upcoming sequel. Candle-lighters 2 was filmed across two days in Summer, 2004. It was left unfinished and ultimately abandoned until an ending was eventually shot two years later, featuring an all-new plot with the same cast. Both Candle-lighters 2, its trailer, and the original Candle-lighters were uploaded to YouTube in 2006.
