Been meaning to give @hauntedmagazine.bsky.social a plug for ages. The latest issue is loads of fun for fans of Uncanny and anyone who loves a good ghost story, with haunted English pyramids, the Edinburgh Vaults, Borley Rectory, and the woman who married a ghost! Love it.

So very proud to have worked on this astonishing collection!

Here's director Jake West with Marc Morris (Nucleus Films) & @ashley999thorpe.bsky.social at the Q&A following the Exeter screening of 'Mancunian Man: The Legendary Life of Cliff Twemlow' (Severin Films, 2023) last March - lots of Twemlow love out there

A terrific evening with one of the greatest directors / animators @ashley999thorpe.bsky.social presenting the ingenious "Borley Rectory" I’ll be sure to look out for those digestive biscuit crumbs on my next rewatch. 😂 I cannot wait to see what you do next. Thank you and Happy Hauntings! 👻

TOMORROW EVENING, Sat 5th April I will be presenting a special screening of 'BORLEY RECTORY' at the Colchester arts centre as well as 'UNCANNY' animation insights and more... 👻
