Fans of a 'Ghost story for Christmas' should have a look at Kier-La Janisse's atmospheric seasonal chiller 'The Occupant of the room', currently streaming on Shudder. Apart from the archly retro title sequence Kier-La kindly asked me to create the exteriors of the hotel & its environs a la Borley 💀

Designing this years UNCANNYCON art my mind instantly went back to the Thames TV intro. A smattering of that plus a lineup from 'Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World' for the reflection. That Thames intro always signalled time to run in terror from 'Armchair Thriller'! #uncannycon
