Hooting Yard : Crime-fighting Chops

O! Savage & vile & pink & bloated thing!

Curs’d uncanny globule of despair!

Monstrous, too! So pale & shuddering!

Its gleaming talons clawing at my hair!

.

Hast this being come t’ announce my doom?

Its head is like a chaffinch or a gull.

It has been sent by Doctor Bogenbroom,

Invoked by minstrel-wizards Jethro Tull.

I’m ready for my close-up: P – the making of a Thai Horror film

Continuing director’s month on IR4MCU, Alex Fitch interviews British director Paul Spurrier who unexpectedly followed his debut film ‘Underground’ (starring Ian Dury and Nick Frost) with ‘P’, a Thai horror film made with a local cast and crew. This interview was the first one recorded for Close-up (nearly 2 years ago – so, sorry about the sound quality) and as tonight’s episode is the 50th show Alex has done for Resonance, it seemed a nice way to celebrate the occasion…

Hooting Yard : Unspeakable Desolation Pouring Down From The Stars

Hooting Yard is excited (possibly overexcited) to announce publication of Unspeakable Desolation Pouring Down From The Stars, a decisively sensible novella of high adventure, derring-do, and baffling conspiracies. Prior knowledge of arcane philatelic imponderables is useful, but not necessary. The book also contains two shorter pieces, one of which features mute blind magnetic love monkeys.
