Guest Announcement! Matthew Holness!

Salutations Weirdos! đŸ’„đŸ˜ˆ

We are beyond thrilled to announce that the master of the macabre, Matthew Holness, is coming to HorrorConUK!

Best known as Horror Fiction’s Grand Frightener, Garth Marenghi, “Author. Dreamweaver. Visionary. Plus, actor.” Matthew co-created the legendary Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace and Man to Man with Dean Learner, as well as the stage shows Fright Knight, Netherhead, and his latest tour, This Bursted Earth.

Matthew also wrote and directed the disturbing folk-horror film Possum, a bleak and unnerving descent into fear and buried trauma. As Garth, Matthew wrote the bestselling novels Terrortome and Incarcerat, both of which showcase his trademark blend of terror and dark humour.

He also appeared in TV series such as The Office, Toast of London, Year of the Rabbit, Back, Friday Night Dinner, and The Haunting of Bly Manor, and many more!

đŸ”„ Tickets and photo ops with Matthew in costume as Garth Marenghi are on sale now HERE! Don’t hang about, this is one you absolutely do not want to miss!
