The Second major location shoot for ‘The Screaming skull‘ commenced at the Two Bridges hotel on the edge of Dartmoor. Situated near Postbridge (not far from the B3212 – as folklorists will know is the home of the legendary Hairy hand haunting) It was chosen for its Jacobean style antique furnishings (one room was actually the favourite of actress Vivien Leigh), lending the many bedroom sequences in ‘Screaming skull‘ a certain gothic grandeur.
The hotel was built in 1794 as a coaching inn at the opening of the trans-moor turnpike, the property originally being called ‘The Saracen’s head’. It gained its present name in the early 1900’s. Opulent, historical and beautiful.
Thanks once again extended to the staff for their hospitality.
