On 12 May 1978, the Dutch broadcaster TROS broadcast a 20 minute Kate Bush television special, recorded at the Dutch amusement park Efteling. On 10 May 1978, Efteling was ready to open the Haunted Castle, the most expensive attraction it had ever constructed, and they wanted to promote it as much as they could. Ton van der Ven, who designed the castle, appeared in a popular talk show and in April a documentary featuring the Haunted Castle was made by filmmaker Rien van Wijk, who was eager to shoot in the latest attraction before it officially opened. Kate, who just had a big hit with Wuthering Heights, was approached for a television special that would promote both Efteling and her songs. The special was filmed in April, a month before the official opening of the castle.
The Efteling TV Special songs:
• "Moving" was filmed in the square in front of the Haunted Castle
• "Wuthering heights"; Kate can be seen inside the Haunted Castle. Among other things, a smoke machine was used.
• "Them heavy people" was filmed at 3 locations; in the attic of the castle, at the entrance with the oriental spirit and outside in front of the entrance of the well that is part of the attraction 'The Indian water lilies'.
• "The man with the child in his eyes" was filmed by the lake with gondolettes and swans
• Strange Phenomena, has the double shot with the mirror image and was filmed in the castle's catacombs.
• "The Kick Inside". Kate has gray hair in this shot and is lying in a boat surrounded by flowers on the lake and sailing away. This scene conjures up images of Elaine and The Lady of Shalott, classic poetic figures from the Arthurian legend.
Catherine Bush CBE (born 30 July 1958) is an English singer, songwriter, and producer. She came to prominence in 1978, aged 19, when she topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut single "Wuthering Heights", becoming the first female artist to achieve a UK number one with a self-written song. She has since released 25 UK Top 40 singles, including the top-10 hits "The Man with the Child in His Eyes", "Babooshka", "Running Up That Hill".

We need Kate and Efteling to make a 2022 remake before Het Spookslot gets thorn down. Will miss this place 😢
When she crawls out of the grave she looks like the woman from "Ring" crawling out of the well. Btw, this was recorded in "Spookslot" in theme park the Efteling, this year is probably the last year you could visit this ride as there are plans to demolish this :(
There will never be another kate bush
Every time I listen to this song it captures me just like it was the first time that I've ever heard it. Art music at its finest.
Man, what kind of a scenery is that, wow!!!
Kate Bush: You question the words of the Mighty Jimmy?
Goodbye Efteling Spookslot. You will be remembered in this amazing song
RIP SPOOKSLOT 🥺
Let’s all gather here together to appreciate Ian Bairnson’s guitar solo.
R.I.P. Spookslot 1978-2022
I had no idea this video existed! I only knew of the famous one that was shot in the field and the other where she's dancing in a white dress in an empty studio. Kate Bush is a favorite of mine, and I love finding offbeat bits of media like this. VERY cool!
did not know this was so old at the Efteling :) nice to see and RIP spookslot :( I enjoyed scaring people at the waiting place hihi
She was magical and extraordinary...
She was ahead of her time, so special ❤️
Geweldig opname! Blijft magies mooi!
Beautifull song and also a very nice setting! Feels very nostalgical, especially since it is gone now :)
Kate Bush is dan ook tuurlijk weer de enige die wel letterlijk in Spookslot mocht rondlopen en dansen
Fantastica Kate Bush.. Grazie TopPop Felice Anno 2021 😘❤🌲🌲
Que delicadeza na performance e doçura na interpretação...
I never knew about the "Halloween" version .
