* GainaxEnding: Due to lack of funding, the back half of the film was shot on the go in what can only be described as guerrilla filmmaking. The result is a disorienting finale where the characters behave in strange, uncharacteristic ways and the viewer can experience a MindScrew once the credits start rolling. It can be debated if this was a fortunate accident or a huge failure. Viewers may not care for the direction the film takes, but fans may feel that it enhances the overall mood and atmosphere.

''Ghostkeeper'' is a 1981 Canadian supernatural {{slasher|Movie}} film directed by James Makichuk, starring Riva Spier, Georgie Collins, and Murray Ord. The plot centers on a trio of snowmobilers in the Rocky Mountains region of Alberta who become stranded at an [[HellHotel abandoned hotel]] where the elderly female innkeeper is hiding an evil entity within the building. The story is inspired by the legend of the {{wendigo}} in Algonquin folklore.

!! This film provides examples of the following tropes:
* CanadaEh: Although the setting is not named directly, there's a distinctly Canadian feel to the whole thing, and it's pretty clear that the story takes place somewhere in the province of Alberta.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's unclear if there really is a wendigo present or if it's just a madman.
* RecycledSoundtrack: Parts of the score are re-used from ''Film/PromNight1980''. Both films share the same composer, Paul Zaza.
* {{Wendigo}}: The innkeeper keeps the wendigo who was once her second son locked in the basement of the hotel.
