A treat for a chilling Wednesday evening. The suitably spooky setting of Revelations Ashford for a performance of ‘A Christmas Carol’ by the brilliant Gerald Dickens great great grandson of Charles Dickens himself. Great to catch-up with @atters1000.bsky.social

Ah this was such a treat to record - Stephen @scarredforlife.bsky.social is a tome of horror video game knowledge - also, who knew screaming voices on a commodore could be THAT scary ?

Great evening watching Monkey with Cymbals performing her fantastic Edith Wharton supernatural performance at the Tom Thumb Theatre Margate. Definitely one of the most attractive theatres I’ve visited - like something from Mid-West America

Undoubtedly one of the main inspiration points behind Darkade my comic Kickstarter, has been those classic vintage Penny arcades which I’ve long been obsessed with. Rye’s own Penny Arcade
Note ‘Barnacle Bill’ the laughing sailor who allegedly would activate randomly after hours…
