Thank you for having me and thank you for doing it at a reasonable hour. This could have been at midnight my time. Oh, I can change this.
00:01:01
Speaker
Oh, like next time will be less accommodating to people. It's wonderful. I've looked through your writing in your artistic history and I'm like, oh, this is my jam. Like deaf lines walking London through horror cinema. I love. Absolutely. This is, this is me. This is a hundred percent. So I'm just going to talk about your process going from writing to something like a movie that may or may may not get, you know, talking to you today. about
Creating Horror Walks and Book Writing
00:01:31
Speaker
Just so why horror of all the things, why horror for you? i I've always loved horror. I mean, I from when I was little, my dad would watch Hitchcock with me and when I was a kid, like turn in classic movies. Yeah. I mean, the birds was probably, I think my first one was stove straight in.
00:01:49
Speaker
woods But yeah, I always loved it. And I was I was doing um my I was like studying and I was finding myself really bored and I was doing all these walks around London because I'm American and I wanted to like to know the city more. And nobody did any walks about horror films here.
00:02:05
Speaker
But there's so many great horror films here. I couldn't believe it. It was nuts. This was back in like 2014. I think there's a few now, not just me. I know there's been some price walks or things as well. But um, but yeah, so I couldn't believe it. So a friend of mine said, we'll just do ah do them. And so I did. And then I met a publisher who said, you know, there's a book in that and and there is he was right. I'm all like prepared. I have a problem for the other people. But I walked
00:02:32
Speaker
That's a book, it's a weapon too. It is, it's great. It's a proper size book. Here's another horror film right now we're doing. And this is amazing. I love the concept of it because I am a movie fan and a lot of people who can't get to London, umm I'm looking at reviews like, I'm not even in London. I love reading this stuff. And it makes them want to go. Like one day I'll go and then follow along on the book.
00:02:57
Speaker
Yeah. I'm really lucky. Actually, somebody sent me an email saying, like, thanks to Google maps, they were able to do one of my London walks. So they just put the locations in the Google maps. It's so cool. Isn't that amazing? Oh my God. You're the new James Joyce for Dublin. Like we're doing Bloomsday walk. Let's, let's do the London walk. Oh my God. That's a tour package. Okay. well So you did this. I have to ask because it is not a small book. How long did it take you to write that? Just Oh, so when people ask me this, I'm always really intimidated to answer because technically, if you start from like the moment a publisher said, Hey, write this, and I finished the manuscript, it was only a year, but I've been giving the walks right years. So it's like three years of researching walks and doing them and changing them. And then only a year of writing it down. Oh my God. So did you ever think about doing something like this and then selling it as a tour thing as in, you know, you had the headphones on. This is my tour right now. Just walk around London. Here's your headset. Walk around.
00:03:58
Speaker
Yeah. You can actually, my Chelsea walk, uh, London month, the dad has it recorded and you can just, you can pop your headphones in. They've got a cute little map that they do with it and everything. Well, good for you. And that has to be an amazing thing. Giving tours is one thing, but learning about the area because you are interested in the area sells it even better because you have a vested interest, right?
00:04:21
Speaker
I love that. And I mean, the coolest thing as well was you get, especially with the city like London, it's changing all the time. You'll you'll walk through like these really, really modern all high glass apartments and you'll turn this little corner and then there's this really weird looking Victorian street. It's like 10 feet long. And you go, oh my God, that's where they shot the werewolf at the end of American the werewolf in London. Holy cow. And it's because in the middle of nowhere, there's this Victorian road. Why not? yeah Oh, wow. That's better. I tried making one for Cambly Island. It did not work as well. Like the only thing shot there was. i know Why? Why did you decide to do that? know was ah I was there, I guess. i was doing a No, it's it's really good. And I want to get into your background because you like. Well, obviously a good writer. You're a fantastic storyteller. Right. How does that translate from books into maybe the film?
00:05:19
Speaker
Um, yeah,
Film Adaptations and Collaborations
00:05:20
Speaker
I mean, interestingly, the, uh, a lot of my short stories, people said are very cinematic. One of them getting adapted into a horror anthology next year, actually. Um, so it's weirdly, it kind of worked for me. I guess I'm very visual in my writing, which sounds strange. Um, like but it's an asset. I mean, it does. Yeah. Some people are like, I don't describe anything. This imagination note. No, know when you make it pop out of the page, it makes a cinematic experience for the mind. And I love what you do.
00:05:49
Speaker
Oh, wow. Thank you so much. I'm really, I'm really honored. It's been it's been a great year, actually, for me, in that respect, I've had I've been able to write for a couple horror films. I just finished a shot in it as well. I was an actor in it as well. We did um a short for Video Shop Tales of Terror 2 called Invasion at Studio 69. So nice.
00:06:10
Speaker
It's gonna be a very 50s B movie plus porn spoof. if It's hilarious. ah and How am I not in that? i know so my name And then I got ah one of my, I wrote it originally as a story and I gave it to um my my partner as a director and i we were we were just friends at that point. I gave him the short story and he said, you should write this as a film. I was like, okay, so I did. I wrote it out of screenplay, my very first one.
00:06:32
Speaker
And Misty Moon Productions picks it up on filming it actually next month, which is crazy. It's called Darner, and it's with, I couldn't believe it when he told me she said yes. He gave the script to Adrienne King, who's the last girl in Friday the 13th, part one. And she loved it, and so she's the lead in it. Oh, that's amazing. I can't believe it.
00:06:54
Speaker
That's an amazing, I love my solid Adrian King. I'm like, Adrian King? Adrian King? Yes, it is. Like, yeah, it is. Like, look at him. I'm like, Oh my God. i can't we have ah ah It's so funny. Actually, we're doing this today. We've got ah like an initial meeting and yeah tomorrow and I'm like so nervous to actually meet her. I know she likes it, which is great, but I'm still like, I can't believe I was just talking to Adrian King.
00:07:18
Speaker
Yeah. You're like trying not to talk about, you're going to talk about the movie at some point, right? Right. I mean, I have to figure out exactly the right moment to do that because I want to look professional. It's a professional meeting and stuff, but I, you know, I might just be like, oh yeah, I'm sure it was a lot like when you read the script for Friday the 13th. You know, I have a friend Jason and his mom doesn't like him. Oh, what was that? That one?
00:07:43
Speaker
Jason's mom. But that that that's exciting. That really is. And it comes from someone reading your short story, believing in you and this end in the story and going, this is amazing for a film. And you still have to have the talent to pull that off, though. It's it's luck plus talent. Right. I mean, it's not just like I went through the universe doing nothing. No, you you worked at it.
00:08:07
Speaker
Yeah, really hard. So I was I mean, I've been I've been writing for ages before I was able to do it professionally. I think I
Overcoming Rejection and Finding Success
00:08:14
Speaker
started in like 2007. And I'd always write short stories or something. And you know, you get you a lot of rejections, but like some are nice enough to tell you what to fix and what to work on. Some of them just never respond to you ever again. but question Right. To all the editors out there give you some feedback. Thank you. It makes us better writer.
00:08:32
Speaker
yeah it's It's weird. it's it's the like I want to be a writer. like Were you popular in school? Yes. No. You're going to get a lot of welcome to rejections. Welcome to ghosting. I think the editors invented ghosting for that. Exactly. It's not even a form letter. It's really funny because everyone's always like, oh, it must be so full of rejection. And I was like, I wish they were personal enough to reject you. That would have felt nicer to me. Yeah, I wish it was like, oh, we hate your story.
00:09:00
Speaker
but You know something we could fix on it? Nothing. Like, okay, thanks. What was the best rejection you got? Curious. Oh, um, I think actually weirdly, um, it was probably for my, my very first story that got published, which was too sure, which was a while ago, 2010. Um, I got, i'd I'd written it as a draft month earlier and I had submitted it around a few places. No replies, no replies. So many were back to me and said,
00:09:28
Speaker
The idea is so creepy, but you don't show us that it's creepy." And I was like, that's a weird. And so I wrote back and I was like, you have absolutely no obligation to tell me about it, but could you explain that a little bit more? She was like, well, you don't make the atmosphere creepy. So what's happening, the plot, I know intellectually is really upsetting, but I don't feel it.
00:09:54
Speaker
And that totally changed the way I went about writing because I was so plot driven. I was so like, oh, actually, movie, you need to have like interesting stuff happening all the time. And it really changed writing. I was like, oh, yeah, it's about these people have to sit with it. So they have to feel everything from the first moment of what you want. And it's made me such a great writer. Well, like not great writers, maybe a lot better, though. You know what? I've read it. Not that particular one, but I've read your stuff. I think great writer's good. It's good. Come on. You're going to work with Adrian King. If you ever wonder, am I a good writer? Just remember.
00:10:33
Speaker
ah Adrian King. Yeah. king but Exactly. For me, it was O'Hara. That's exactly it. It was like, you just need that one person that really that you looked up as a kid going, oh, my God, they like me. They really they truly like me. And that's great feedback. And I think you you did. A lot of writers don't do. They'll get the rejection email and go, oh, never, you know, loser. You don't like my stuff. Fool on you. But you wrote back. Hmm.
00:11:02
Speaker
And probably, I'm guessing politely because they wrote back to you afterwards. Yes. I did not want to piss them off. It was great. You've written me back. It's like, it's gonna be like, oh, here we go. And that goes a long way. We have anthologies. We used to write, we work with authors, but anthologies, when we had to reject something, it always feel like really bad. i'm Like, oh, I hate rejecting because I hate being the person saying, sorry, you're not ready yet. But the yet part.
00:11:28
Speaker
Is it? You're not ready yet. Work on your craft more, come back later on, fix this and then be fine. So you took that rejection and it made you a stronger writer that landed more and more like deals and major things coming like like Darners coming out. What is the feeling when you're looking back on your career? Is it just like a whirlwind or is it kind of like, Oh, I knew this is going to happen.
00:11:53
Speaker
ah No, total world. I mean, especially the films have been a total surprise. I think when when Death Lines came out, I was like, okay, I'm a proper i'm a proper writer now. I can like focus on this. um And I was at this dark fest, which is this amazing horror festival and here in London. and um Pauline Piet who's in, she's a hammer sort of actress here and she was in Dracula 1872 which is one of the films in my book and so I was like can you sign my book you're in it and she she said to me oh my gosh you know you have to meet you have to meet Tony Martin who's actually now my partner but he's a film director and he's the first one to try and help me get my writing into sort of screenplay
00:12:34
Speaker
shape And so that was only two years ago in November. So the last two years, I've written five different things. Three are about to be filmed. You already have been. And it's that's been total surprise, total chaos, and so much fun as well. Because it started basically with me being like, oh, I'd like to like be an extra in your movie. And I did like a little scene.
00:12:56
Speaker
And then I ended up being in loads of other films and other people were like, oh, you're a writer. I'm a director. What do you write? And then that's Alex, who I did a video shop with. I'm working with somebody named Tom Lee Rutter. He did Pocket Focus Superstitions. I'm doing a cool film called Trial the Undyne. And it's just like all within the past two years. Yeah. It's just putting yourself out there, I think. Yeah. It won't come to you. You have to come to them and just be personable.
00:13:22
Speaker
Yeah, I think that's the other thing is it's really, I don't know if if you've found this as well, but I think people who love horror are always willing to sort of talk to you about who are always excited to meet someone else about it. And it's that really like amazing environment that you can, you can, you know, get to know people really well and you have a great time. And, but then you can also be like, Oh, you know, Hey, you love horror. Read this, tell me what you think. And they'll give you really great, honest feedback. yeah Really know their stuff.
00:13:50
Speaker
That is, it's actually has been my experience and this horse really weird genre for me because it is like a family. As soon as you start talking like, Oh my God, you can overhear someone talking about it and they'll welcome you into the conversation about it because they love it so much. Like, Oh, I didn't even know you before. Like five minutes ago, but let's go. It's welcoming and everyone wants to help you.
00:14:12
Speaker
Yeah, everyone really wants to step behind you. They all want to help because it's more horror the better. Yeah, more are the better in the world.
Exploring Horror in Podcasts
00:14:20
Speaker
Absolutely. And then not only are you doing them the movies and the books as if that wasn't enough, but I loved your tagline. This is the sound division. The London Horror Movie Club. a What is the London Horror Movie Club?
00:14:36
Speaker
Oh yeah, so I have my big brother who introduced me to horror movies, Chris, who's in North Carolina, and he and I do the podcast, which is London Horror Movie Club. It started out with us reviewing horror movies that were set in London, because I obviously knew a lot about them. And then the more I got to meet people in the indie British horror industry, the more we were like, hey, come talk about what you do, because Everybody likes to listen to like the big guys. but they They have so much support and so much more going on. they don't have to be You don't have the director who's like holding a lamp to try and make it be a lighting rig while having built the costume you're wearing. and Their stories are insane and They go to crazy lengths while holding down full-time jobs to make these movies they love. That's exactly right. It's the indie part. and i love I love podcasting because like
00:15:27
Speaker
Thank you, Kevin Smith. But it's the last place that you can have total freedom. Do you want your formats, your format? People will come. Yeah, it's true. I don't know if this is true for you, but like growing up, we, I mean, horror fans, I assume you're one of them and a niche fans.
00:15:45
Speaker
It took ages to find somebody else, if you found them at all, who got you and who liked the stuff you liked. And now we can, my brother and I can talk nonsense with another horror director and be like, oh yeah, it's amazing. And then someone on you know in China even will find us and go, oh my God, I loved that movie.
00:16:02
Speaker
i That's the amazing part about the Internet when used for good. it can really know It can really make branches out to people. We're looking at statistics like people are from what country are watching me right now. That's insane. That's insane. But yes. so Growing up in a small town, if you look, you have like friends at all. But to have the horror friend, they can really just go through the cheesiest from the bees all the way up to the Blumhouses, we'll say. It's like, yeah, this is it. This is our jam. And finding it on the internet, you have the family. You have, if you ever watched the last drop-in with Joe up Bob Briggs, you have the mutant fam, and they're very supportive. You have this family, and this family, and this one. And all ones are nice.
00:16:47
Speaker
we had like isaac born on before. And Isaac's got a bazillion followers. yeah And he's like, yeah, no, I just push everyone because I believe in horror. i So nice. I love it. i thought He's great writer as well. He's really engaging. That's so cool. yeah it It is. And I, with my ego, he submitted something a long time ago to an anthology we did. I'm like, Oh my God, you're right. He's great. You go far kid.
00:17:14
Speaker
are like and yeah He's already established. I was like, I discovered you when you're already discovered. But yeah, it was like the little things, it's just little things that add up. Now has anyone come to you as saying, I need a mentor. I need a horror mentor.
00:17:33
Speaker
No, no, they haven't. And I think that's probably a good thing because I'm still ah getting my feet grounded. If this is getting your feet grounded, I hate to see when you're full stream. Honestly, it's, I think, you know, cut me a front row. But I think that if you go to conventions, are you going to conventions for your own stuff?
Connecting with Fans and Conventions
00:17:57
Speaker
Yeah, I'm on the whole horror convention very kindly invited. My very first one is at the end of this month and I'm going and I've even got like, I just really funny. You appreciate this. I had they asked me to like, do pictures for people. Yes, movie. But I was like, who is going to want to learn something? Tons you will. OK, tons of people. You have no idea. No idea. As long as you're there and then you your stuff looks cool.
00:18:23
Speaker
They will be your nice parents. Yeah. And that's the perfect picture for it. I'm like, hell, I want one of those now. I love that one. The vampire from is from when I said, which is the sand. It was like 30 second scene and I have so many photos of it. Which is in the sand. And that's that's the ah Tony Martin one. Yes. Yeah. So it's a it's a feature. It's coming. It's going to be out end of next year. But it's like it's got that's and I got to act with Linnea Quigley in that.
00:18:51
Speaker
I mean, that he's got so many incredible people. I got to act with Simon Bamford from Hellraiser. He was amazing. I love him to pieces. That, oh my God, that is Simon. I'm like, oh my gosh, look at him. like Yeah. and he's I mean, everyone's in this. Brink Stephens is in it. Lindsay Duhoney is in it. Lynette Quigley-Debra. I mean, it's ridiculous how many people, Ian McCulloch, I got to meet because he was in it. It's like all of these childhood heroes. You're just like, oh my God, you're like Hannibal Holocaust. Who are you?
00:19:19
Speaker
I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. That's amazing feeling and all because not all because, but dang, location, location, location, right? Yeah. That's these walks that I did. And then this book and then it's all it's basically the foundation of my whole career. It's crazy. Following your passion.
00:19:38
Speaker
Yeah. Following your passion, you can't go wrong. Absolutely. That's true. However. It's a great example of like it's not, it's doing something you love versus what you thought you should do. I was doing a degree in something else trying to learn how to teach and I was bored and wanted a horror walk and so I made them and then all of a sudden that's somehow amazingly magically become my life and I'm so lucky. But you're still teaching in a way because you're showing,
00:20:04
Speaker
It's a service. it's It's actually an educational experience. Deaf Lions walking London through horror cinema is an educational book. Yeah, that's true. For a certain point of view for horror lovers, especially.
00:20:14
Speaker
Thanks. I actually, one of the things I loved about this was it's not just a, so when you, when you give the walks, you like, you kind of read the room and you see whether people are more interested in talking about the movie or they know this movie really well and they want you to move on or whatever. But with
Educational Aspects of Horror and Future Plans
00:20:27
Speaker
the the book, I got to talk a little bit more about like, why, why did directors want this location? Was there something cool to it? Was there something more to it? And that, that was just, I love that. That's my favorite bit.
00:20:39
Speaker
that going into it is very well done. In fact, that I'll do four. For the first four people, four, first four people who DM me, email me, call me, whatever, we will give you a copy of Deafline's Walking London Through Horror Cinema by none other than Lauren Jane Barnett. Oh my God, that's amazing. Ship to your house, grab this. There we go, first four people.
00:21:04
Speaker
now What's next? Besides, I know we're doing Darner with Adrian King. You're probably just all in Darner. Could you imagine going to the convention next year with Darner out? i know You and Adrian King sitting in a booth? It's going to be insane. And then as as well, that'll be when um I, so there's, um we're doing a horror anthology as well with you mean them. So I've got another thing with them over here. Bill Fellows is quite famous. Did you ever watch Ted Lasso?
00:21:35
Speaker
Yes. So yeah, everyone um so never won the planet pretty much you know ah in this sort of season, you see him mostly towards the end, but you also see him in the first season where he's the he's the previous coach, the one who's wearing the weight. Yes, that's Bill Fellows. I'm doing something with him as well, which is very exciting. That's in the anthology. And so I've been writing for this for anthology. And I'm yeah, I can't that's filming next year. And so I'll be able to go with like, Adrian King. And yeah, I can't put for you. thank you You're on a rocket ship. I'm very lucky. It's what I am. Enjoy the ride. Enjoy the ride, man. Thank you. And one day we'll be watching you on Joe Bob Briggs season and be introducing your movie. Oh my God. That being the worlding ah that would be so cool. like got well So we covered up. we've We've got your books. We've got London Horror Movie Club. We've got Darner with
00:22:31
Speaker
drinkking i can't believe that I'm extremely, you have no idea. I don't get jealous. I'm jealous. It's so, it's so crazy and cool. I can't even believe it. It's ridiculous as well, because it was like, ah the the producer, Stuart, he said, oh I'll send it to her. But like, don't, you know, don't, don't get hopes up your young, young writer, whatever. And he was like, she'll be very honest. And I was like, Okay, totally fine, totally fine. And he's like, I said, it she I got this little text message and I was like, I sent it to Adrian, she absolutely loves it and can't wait to meet you. And I was like,
00:23:03
Speaker
Oh my God. I couldn't believe it. I was like, Oh my God. Sort of screaming up and down. Exactly. It was just so exciting. Oh my God. That's an amazing time. And for those who want to see you at the convention, where is that?
00:23:21
Speaker
So it's this is Hull Horror Fest. It's in Hull and it's from 26th of October. I think there's still tickets and it's really, really great festival as well because they've got like loads of people from all different aspects of course. There's lots of writers like me. There's people from things like Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey. And they've also got quite a lot of like people who do like, I don't know if you know that like the horror cross stitch and like horror baking and like it's just horror palooza all over your face. I love horror palooza.
00:23:48
Speaker
Horrible is all over your face. I think that's a tagline for it That's a new that's the shirts for that the Hall and Hall really yeah I think it's one of those things where people know especially I think then you obviously know the London ones and everybody knows we love Ford Manchester But they've gotten kind of so crazy big that people miss the smaller like oh you can actually spend time with each person and hang out with them and Hall does that like it's a There's only a couple of thousand people, so you can be with that person, you can talk to them, you can actually like have a nice time with the person that you're meeting instead of just like, hi, sorry, have a nice day, bye. That's it. i That's why I do love, we're we're going out to Winnipeg soon, and it's it's more of a smaller con, and it allows you to have FaceTime. Yeah. Allows you to have second, besides like the the production line, the production line, the production line, the production line.
00:24:42
Speaker
That's amazing. I'm still holding out for a Canva Island Con. ah Me and Andy Yao from White Light, we're going to go there. We're going to have just us. It was him and I. That would be so cool. We could do that later on.
00:24:56
Speaker
So when you're going to the convention, I have to ask, are you also going to bring your book? Yeah. yeah the photos My main thing is I'm bringing my book, definitely. And I'm also going to be bringing the and the book for which is the sands. I put like six characters in it. So they'll be like, also. Yeah. And and i'm I'm hopefully going to also be able to bring a darner poster so people can have a little sneak of that.
