I couldn’t be more excited to be writing on this dream project for the legendary horror master André Øvredal and the combined horror genius of Walter Hamada and Gary Dauberman!

Happy Halloween!
For anyone interested, I was recently reminded of when I visited one of Kent's most haunted locations with some friends (which I think is all private land now).
One of the most unsettling nights I've had (especially finding the old ruined church). Enjoy! 🎃💀

So, as mentioned before, a (verrrry) long time ago I went ghost hunting with a couple of friends in Oxney Bottom... There's a reason why it's noted as one of the most haunted woodlands in England. (Thread)

Great to finally get a chance to see the long closed Wye Undercroft. Dating back to 1250 and said to have been a storehouse for wines being transported from France to Sussex to Kent. Allowing weary pilgrims to enjoy a respite on their way to Canterbury Cathedral.

Fantastic night catching Reece Shearsmith’s “Things I Took From The Dark” show. A treat hearing about Reece’s unsettling collection alongside Jeremy Dyson - go watch it.

Canterbury’s supernatural heritage is not just M. R. James. From Chaucer and Marlowe to Barham, Dickens and The Apparition of Mrs Veal, the city has shaped supernatural storytelling for centuries.
An unmissable event for horror and ghost-story fans.

The original trailer for THE EXORCIST (1973) was so unsettling that Warner Bros. pulled it from theaters after test audiences became physically ill.
Its rapid flashes of possessed faces & sound design made the trailer itself a piece of horror history.
