Exclusive: Ghosts cast crack up in hilarious new filming footage for upcoming movie

Ghosts fans will know the best part of any series was the on-set bloopers that were released after the end of every series. Thankfully, it looks like the cast gave plenty of material for a bloopers video after the release of new movie, Ghosts: The Possession of Button House.

To mark the upcoming release of the highly-anticipated movie, Digital Spy has an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette that sees the cast reflect on reuniting for the new movie, as well as footage of the cast cracking up on set.

Namely, Jim Howick making Mathew Baynton laugh over a line about chicken, leading to Howick making himself laugh. Enjoy the set footage above right now.

In the featurette, Martha Howe-Douglas said it was "really special" to come back for the Ghosts movie, while Howick noted that it wasn't that hard to get back into their characters: "We were able to tap into them quite quickly."

"Within ten minutes, you're just all laughing," added Laurence Rickard.

It seems as though the creators also made Ghosts: The Possession of Button House work for series newcomers as well. Although if you haven't watched all five series of Ghosts already, we're not sure what else you've been doing.

"There are Easter eggs in there for the series fans. Also we've made something for an audience that hasn't seen the series before," Howick explained.

Simon Farnaby summed it up quite nicely though: "Being together, it's sort of like coming home."

No, you're crying.

The featurette also appears to confirm that Fleabag and Ludwig star Sian Clifford is in the movie as she's seen towards the end on set with Rickard.

We don't have any extra information on who she's playing, whether that's a ghost or not (, but it looks like she was having a great time on set as we all would be.

Ahead of its release in cinemas this month, it's been confirmed that Ghosts: The Possession of Button House has a runtime of 97 minutes and has been classified a PG for "mild scary scenes, rude humour, violence, language, drug references".

Ghosts: The Possession of Button House is released in UK cinemas on 23 October.
