Ayoade and Lowe joined, too, and in 2000 the three of them and future Paddington director Paul King took Garth Marenghi’s Fright Knight to the Edinburgh Fringe where it was nominated for the Perrier award.

The character is highly conceited and narcissistic, often describing himself through epithets such as "the dream weaver", "shaman", "titan of terror", "The One Man Fear Factory" and "master of the macabre." In interviews, he compares himself positively with James Joyce, Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci, and Jesus. [6] [7] [8] I won’t sit between anybody. If it’s the annual horror convention curry, I am always head of a long, rectangular table. One year, I wasn’t sat there and cancelled the entire event. Last year, Richard Osman – who was in the area and had been staring in at us for 20 minutes through the window – tried to cadge a free pudding, saying he was hoping to segue into horror after conquering cosy crime.

Following SAS: Rogue Heroes and Great Expectations (plus Diana biopic Spencer), he adapts Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer-winning second world war novel about a blind French girl and a German boy who finds himself working for the Nazis. No. Having said that, horror can create emotions akin to laughter. When I initially took my horror show to the Edinburgh festival, people were so terrified that they screamed with laughter.

Horror shows set in the 80s are all the rage now. Do you watch Stranger Things with a tinge of jealousy?
