On Tuesday 27th January the ‘Exeter Picturehouse‘ cinema will be presenting a special HD screening of short films previously premiered at the ‘Two Short Nights‘ festival, in antiscipation of February’s ‘Animated Exeter‘.
One of the films to be screened will be Penny Dreadful number 3 : ‘Screaming Skull‘, written and directed by Ashley Thorpe. Set after the First world war, it’s a gothic story of ancestral anxieties, hereditary madness and ghosts that won’t be put to rest. Drawing upon such influences as M.R James and the Amicus movies of the 1970’s, ‘The Screaming Skull’ is a quintessential British horror film.
Professor Susan Hayward, member of the media centre steering group and commission board, will introduce the films, and there will be a post-screening question and answer session with the film-makers in the picturehouse bar. Please note: Due to scenes of violence, swearing and scenes of sustained horror the screening will not be suitable for audiences under 15 years of age.
The screening commences at : 6:30pm
Admission: £4, £3.50 concessions, £3 members.
Venue : Exeter Picturehouse – 51 Bartholomew Street West,Exeter EX4 3AJ
