Podcast appearances and mentions of Matthew Holness

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault/Abuse/Missing Children In this episode the FM3 Talk about the bleak and cold film Possum from 2018. Brian picked this one for the group thinking it was going to be a scary supernatural puppet adventure but it ended up being far darker and more horrible than he or the rest of the crew could imagine. All in all it is a very well done film, but it is a heavy fucked up one. This is one of those films that is NOT for everyone. 

A Ghost Story for Christmas is a series of annual British short films first broadcast on BBC One from 1971 to 1978, and sporadically revived by the BBC since 2005. With one exception, the original films were directed by Lawrence Gordon Clark and shot on 16 mm color film. The series aimed to adapt classic ghost stories for television, echoing the tradition of telling supernatural tales at Christmas. So far, we've covered A Warning to the Curious and The Signalman in Episode 21, Whistle and I'll Come to You and Stigma in Episode 32, and The Stalls of Barchester along with The Treasure of Abbot Thomas in Episodes 41a and 41b.This year, we're bringing you Lost Hearts on New Year's Eve. But tonight, Christmas Eve—the traditional night for ghost stories—we'll be discussing The Ash Tree. Written for the screen by David Rudkin and based on M.R. James's short story, The Ash Tree was directed by Lawrence Gordon Clark. Looking back at Clark's credits, it's surprising we haven't mentioned that he also directed one of our favorite monkey-man TV drama events from the 1990s—Chimera. That's definitely something we should cover, assuming we can find a way to watch it. The Ash Tree aired on December 23, 1975, and featured Edward Petherbridge in the dual roles of Sir Richard and Sir Matthew. According to IMDb, Petherbridge began his career in 1961 and appeared in a wide range of film and TV roles. He's apparently best known as the sharp and snooty sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey in The Dorothy L. Sayers Mysteries. Impressively, he kept working until 2017, with one of his final roles being the voice of a gentleman fish in one of Tim Burton's Alice films.The cast also included Preston Lockwood as Dr. Croome, Barbara Ewing as Anne Mothersole, and, happily for our status as a secret Doctor Who podcast (though perhaps less happily for James), Lalla Ward as Lady Augusta. Barbara Ewing had an impressive career on the small screen, appearing in shows like Peak Practice, Casualty, The Bill, an episode of Hammer House of Horror, and even the Pertwee-fronted game show Whodunnit?. She also appeared in Chiller, a British horror/fantasy anthology series from 1995 that Ross has somehow never seen but seems to pop up constantly on people's CVs. are you two aware of this and should we be covering it?) Beyond acting, Ewing is also an accomplished novelist, with nine books to her name. Her novel A Dangerous Vine even made the long list for the Orange Prize. Lalla Ward had a fascinating career trajectory. Her first film after leaving the Central School of Speech and Drama was Hammer's Vampire Circus. She was close friends with Douglas Adams, who famously took her as his date to a screening of The Empire Strikes Back in the early 1980s. Adams also introduced her to her second husband, Richard Dawkins (for whom she would later provide illustrations for his controversial books), at his 40th birthday party—they were the only two who showed up on time! Of course, her first husband was Tom Baker, with whom she starred in Doctor Who as the second incarnation of the Time Lady Romana from 1979 to 1981. There really should be a General Witchfinders drinking game where you take a sip every time we mention someone in this next bit: In 2019, a modern-day audio adaptation of The Ash Tree was released by Bafflegab Productions. Written by Matthew Holness, it starred Amanda Abbington, Reece Shearsmith, and John Sessions. Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Born in Coventry but evacuated to Preston during the Blitz, Delia cites the sound of air raid sirens as inspiring her interest in electronic sound. She went on to study Maths and Music at Cambridge University and launched her career at the BBC in 1960 as a trainee Studio Manager. She moved to the Radiophonic Workshop in 1962, where she spent the next 11 years developing experimental sounds and music for their TV and radio shows, in addition to working as a freelancer on film, theatre and other live projects. Her most famous work is her electronic arrangement of Ron Grainer's Doctor Who theme, created in 1963.Delia composed and produced electronic music using tape, plus early synthesis and sampling methods before specific instruments were created for these purposes. Her work has influenced and inspired many modern artists including The Chemical Brothers, Aphex Twin, Portishead, Nainita Desai, Amon Tobin and Cosey Fanni Tutti, while Pink Floyd, Orbital and Hannah Peel have reinterpreted her work.Mark Ayres BiogMark Ayres is a composer, arranger, sound designer, mixer and mastering engineer. Mark wrote incidental music for Doctor Who in the 1980s. More recently he wrote the music for, sound-designed and mixed the reconstructed 'lost' Tom Baker adventure, “Shada”, and a celebratory feature length version of the original 1963 “Daleks” serial transmitted on BBC4 on 23rd November 2023, Doctor Who's 60th birthday. He has also composed for television and film including scores for 1996 feature "The Innocent Sleep" and the more recent "Scar Tissue".Mark was involved in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's final days and went on to become their archivist. A personal friend of Delia Derbyshire, he was entrusted with her personal archive after her death in 2001, which is now on permanent loan to the University of Manchester John Rylands Library and accessible for study. He is a Trustee of the Delia Derbyshire Day Charity.His devotion to the Workshop after Doctor Who ceased broadcasting in 1989 proved vital in regenerating interest in their work, and he is now the driving force behind their live revival on the festival circuit and in the creation of new works including the score for Matthew Holness' disturbing psychological horror film, "Possum". He has produced and mastered many recordings for Silva Screen Records and others, and his work remastering classic television programmes including Doctor Who, Quatermass, and the films of Ken Russell and Alan Clarke for broadcast, DVD and Blu-ray, including 5.1 remixes of many titles, has been highly acclaimed.David Butler BiogDavid Butler is a Senior Lecturer in Drama and Film Studies at the University of Manchester. He helped to bring the Delia Derbyshire Archive  to the John Rylands Library, Manchester in 2007 and is one of the archive's lead researchers and curators. David is the chair of trustees for Delia Derbyshire Day and helped set up the charity in 2016.Cosey Fanni Tutti BiogCosey Fanni Tutti is a musician and writer, best known for her part in experimental electronic bands Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey. Cosey interacted with the Delia Derbyshire Archive when she composed the soundtrack for Caroline Catz's film 'Delia Derbyshire: The Myths And The Legendary Tapes' and in the writing of her book Re-Sisters: The Lives and Recordings of Delia Derbyshire, Margery Kempe and Cosey Fanni Tutti published by Faber in 2022.https://www.coseyfannitutti.com/Caro C BiogCaro C is an artist, engineer and teacher specialising in electronic music. Her self-produced fourth album 'Electric Mountain' is out now. Described as a "one-woman electronic avalanche" (BBC), Caro started making music thanks to being laid up whilst living in a double decker bus and listening to the likes of Warp Records in the late 1990's. This 'sonic enchantress' (BBC Radio 3) has now played in most of the cultural hotspots of her current hometown of Manchester, UK. Caro is also the instigator and project manager of electronic music charity Delia Derbyshire Day.URL: http://carocsound.com/Twitter: @carocsoundInst: @carocsoundFB: https://www.facebook.com/carocsound/

THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta)@andoryukesuta Possum is a 2018 British psychological horror film written and directed by Matthew Holness in his feature film debut, starring Sean Harris and Alun Armstrong. It centres on a disgraced children's puppeteer who returns to his childhood home and is forced to confront trauma he suffered there. Philip Connell, a disgraced children's puppeteer, is forced to return to his childhood home in Norfolk, which is shared by his decrepit uncle, Maurice. The home is in disrepair due to a past fire. Philip is haunted by a horrific spider-like marionette in his possession, called "Possum", which he keeps in a leather duffel bag. Throughout his time in Norfolk, he repeatedly attempts to dispose of the puppet, but it inexplicably returns to him each time. He recovers a picture book about Possum that he wrote and illustrated as a young boy depicting Possum's origins and how it creeps upon unsuspecting, orphaned children, intent on devouring them in their beds. Phillip frequently approaches a closed room in the house. Each time, Maurice asks if he plans to go in, to which he always replies no. Maurice frequently mocks Phillip during their interactions, such as mentioning the disgraceful circumstances that cost him his job and sadistically requesting that Phillip recount traumatic experiences of childhood bullying. He laments Phillip's attempts to dispose of Possum, reminding him that puppetry is something that runs in their family. News reports begin to surface of a missing local boy, Michael, whom Phillip initially encountered on the train ride to Norfolk. Authorities indicate that a man fitting Phillip's description is a person of interest in the disappearance. He revisits his childhood school, though he is discouraged from lingering by the school's staff and treated with suspicion by the local residents. He is also plagued by strange visions and dreams of Possum creeping up on him in bed. Phillip continues trying unsuccessfully to dispose of Possum—abandoning it in the woods, throwing it off a bridge, breaking it and sinking it off a dock, and even burning it—to no avail. The search for Michael in the papers causes Maurice to remark to Phillip that there was a similar case back then of a boy being assaulted by a masked man. When Phillip breaks down in tears, Maurice comforts him. As the search for Michael continues to mount, Maurice informs Phillip that he will be spending some time away and warns Phillip to not bring attention to himself, or trouble back to the house. In a period of distress, Phillip enters the school and requests that he be allowed to speak to his old form teacher, Mr. Grant. He tells the secretary that Mr. Grant "knew all about what had happened" and promised to go to the police with him. The confused secretary has him wait outside, but Phillip overhears her speaking with the principal about calling the police and he flees. As he runs, he finds himself chased by Possum, until he is seemingly overwhelmed by it, and passes out. Awakening, he returns home to find Maurice gone, but now has horrifying visions of becoming Possum himself.

We're truly doing the Devil's work today, with PsydeShow leading the way! This week, we're covering Matthew Holness' utterly disturbing (and very heady) 2018 psychological drama, Possum. The plot follows an (apparently) disgraced puppeteer who returns to his childhood home to quite literally stare the spindly horrors of his past in the face. In all fairness, it's a bit difficult to describe this film with words, it's like “Bad Vibes: The Movie”, but we're going to do our best. We're excited and honored to have our very first musical guest along for this twisted little ride, Jack Murray, lead singer of 156/Silence!

Let's face it. Puppets are creepy as it is. You put your hand where the sun don't shine, and then they come to life. Equally creepy are the people who own and operate puppets. Ventriloquism, the act of being able to speak without moving one's lips is a talent that to me seems like witchcraft, and we all know how I feel about witches. Matthew Holness' Possum - yeah, THAT Matthew Holness - the guy who plays Garth Merenghi - is as terrifying as it is confusing. A heady mix of squallor and depression swirl around a sink hole of abuse, and the whole thing really just left us feeling dirty. But, does that mean that watching Possum is an unpleasant experience? You'll just have to tune in and find out, won't you?

The show focuses on fictional horror author Garth Marenghi (played by Matthew Holness) and his publisher Dean Learner (played by Richard Ayoade), characters who originated in the Garth Marenghi's Fright Knight stage show. The series is presented as a special release of the fictional television series Darkplace. Within the canon of the show, Darkplace was produced in the 1980s, but failed to gain an audience anywhere but Peru, eventually becoming a lost series. Saved footage has recently resurfaced, with Marenghi & co. republishing with the intent of gaining interest from a modern audience. The "original footage" of the show is intercut or bookended with commentary from many of the "original" cast, where characters such as Marenghi and Learner reflect on what it was like to make the show. Darkplace parodies the fashion, special effects, production gaffes, and music of low-budget '80s television, as well as the modern practice of including commentary tracks on DVD releases of old films and television shows. Darkplace was broadcast in a late-night timeslot, with very little advertising, and met with poor viewing figures.[1] It built up a significant internet following, leading Channel 4 to repeat the series and produce a DVD release. In 2005, Channel 4's Film Four asked Holness and Ayoade to write a script for a film version of their programme.[2] The show was later broadcast in the United States on the Sci-Fi Channel and Adult Swim[1] and is available to stream on Peacock.

No meu terceiro review desse Monkey Madness 2021, vou falar a respeito de um horror psicológico silencioso, um filme britânico dirigido por Matthew Holness e estrelado por Sean Harris

His guest is comedian and horror film maker, Matthew Holness. They discuss whether he is the lost boy of comedy, if growing up in the same town as a horror legend led to his obsession with darkness, the hidden dangers of public information films of the 70s, remembering theme tunes, but not the series, directing a method actor, whether our lives are actually Hell, Jimmy Carr's remarkable memory, the decision to step away from comedy, making the cult hit Garth Marenghi, the amazing cast of Bruiser and being the IT guy on the Office. Plus Sutton Hoo, Pete Townshend lookalikes, another outing for the reverse Peter Kay, impression and beautiful singing.

Dos increíbles y terroríficas historias, dos películas que te harán temblar de miedo con sus imágenes escalofriantes sacadas directamente de una mente perturbada. Acompáñenme en una doble presentación donde haremos una disección (Sin spoilers) a dos cintas de terror psicológico: Caveat (2020) y Possum (2018). CAVEAT es una película irlandesa seleccionada en el Screamfest del 2020, se encuentra dirigida por Damian Mc Carthy y protagonizada por Jonathan French, Tiffany Ellen Robinson y Ben Caplan. POSSUM es una producción de Reino Unido escrita y dirigida por Matthew Holness y protagonizada por Sean Harris y Alun Armstrong.

Emerging from his comedy origins with a Perrier Award, scene-stealing cameo in The Office and the cult-classic series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace under his belt, Matthew then disappeared off the radar. Or did he? From broccoli women, Hammer horror and going deep with Garth to working with John Hurt, his writing and directing process, Matthew reveals all about his career so far, and his transistion into directing with three incredible short films and his critically-acclaimed, psychological horror feature, Possum.

Garth Marenghi himself, Matthew Holness, stops by to chat with Vespe and Wampler about how Stephen King has impacted his life and the reasons why he chose King's first sober novel, The Dark Half, to talk about.

Patrick and I talk about the cult comedy/horror/satire set in a haunted hospital: Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (2004) starring Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade

It's HALLOWEEN NIGHT and the boys have shaken off the shackles of ordinary radio recording, and decided to head out on the streets to chat film and nonsense on the streets with the Trick or Treaters! Topics this time around include the recent love for the season, weird Pumpkin recipes, HitchinTV's Haunted Hitchin Halloween Special, the last fortnight's news and an in-depth discussion over the indie darling that is POSSUM (2018) by Matthew Holness - all while confronting the dark creatures that inhabit the suburbs in this classic slice of improvised Scream Bucketing! If you enjoy the podcast, please come and support us over at https://www.patreon.com/hollowdellmedia! This podcast is made up of the chatty bits from the fortnightly Screen Bucket radio show on North Herts Radio, a UK based community radio station. Produced by Hollow Dell Media.

The Horror genre is very important us here at The Horror Vision,  but why? Well, this episode we spend a good chunk of time introducing ourselves, briefly summing up why and how we love Horror so much. After that, we watch Matthew Holness' Possum. In between, topics of discussion include

In this show, we trace the strange path that led Matthew Holness from the comedy world of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace to the dark horror of of his debut feature film, Possum (2018). Along the way we take a look at his short film A Gun for George, the violent world of the Reprisalizer, and the disturbing near-future found in the teleplay The Snipist.

The Queenz are in need of some therapy and a good hot shower after watching Possum, the 2018 British horror from director Matthew Holness. Starring Sean Harris as Philip, a disgraced children's puppeteer, Possum takes us to MR James country amidst the desolate marshes of Norfolk but this ain't no Christmas ghost story. Possum paints a blackened portrait of post-Jimmy Savile Britain. An oppressive story of the trauma of abuse, it is horror in its rawest, nastiest form. So how did the Screaming Queenz react to a group viewing? This is heavy stuff so be warned - but obvs even in the darkest of corners we find something to cackle about so it's not all doom and gloom! Prepare to be spoiled - and soiled (sorry).

Mr Jim Moon explores the world of a true master of horror, Mr Garth Marenghi and revisits his seminal cult TV series Darkplace (copyright Dean Learner Enterprises) that was axed by the powers that be - Garth Marenghi's Darkplace!   In this episode we look back the career of Romford's chillmaestro, the comedy horror classic that was Garth Marenghi's Darkplace which starred Matthew Holness, Richard Ayoade, Alice Lowe and Matt Berry, plus its spin-off Man to Man with Dean Learner.

039 - A Gun for George[2011] 

 Greetings traveler. I'm a horror writer. Most of you will probably know me already from my extensive canon of chillers. 

 Mack and Jon(from the Cinema Slop podcast) talk about British comedian, actor, writer and director Matthew Holness. Join them as they chat about Mr. Holness' horror parody show 'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace' but mostly about his 2011's short film 'A Gun for George'.

A rather special Welcome to Horror this week. Lee reached out to director Mike Pecci, and he’s given us the chance to watch and review his atmospheric short film “12KM”. Totally brand new to all the team, we offer our thoughts on this weird and creepy chiller. Along the way we discuss Matthew Holness’ debut “Possum”, “Under The Shadow”, “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”, “An American Haunting” and the art of the jump scare. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us. Seriously, check this splendid film out, enjoy, then listen in.

We have another minisode! Jaq spoke with writer and director of new British horror Possum, Matthew Holness. Matthew was in Sheffield recently as part of a Q&A tour, and we grabbed him for a quick interview. Matthew is known to small screen viewers as the star and creator of Garth Marenghi’s Dark place, which only ran for one series on Channel 4 but has a huge cult following and helped launch the careers of talent such as Alice Lowe, Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry. Possum is a new British horror film starring Mission Impossible actor Sean Harris and stage and screen veteran Alun Armstrong. After returning to his childhood home in Norfolk, a disgraced children's puppeteer is forced to confront the secrets that have tortured his entire life. The Cinema For All podcast is proud to be supported by the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and William Thrasher discuss Superman Returns to finish off their look at the first batch of Superman flicks. Director Bryan Singer was so gung-ho to do a Superman movie that he jumped ship from X-Men: The Last Stand to do it. Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) has another scheme involving land acquisition, but Superman (Brandon Routh) has been gone from Earth for several years. Can Kal-El get his groove back? In many ways a love letter to the first Superman movie with Christopher Reeve, Superman Returns is an earnest return to form with a plot that's all set-up and little action. When the best scene involves Superman rescuing a space shuttle only an hour into the movie, you know you're in trouble. It's not for lack of trying, either. Kevin Spacey has more fun with the Lex Luthor role than Gene Hackman ever did. Bryan Singer shoots the movie with such a reverence for the character than it leeches any potential conflict right out of the story. Mat watches "The Apes of Wrath" episode of the shortlived BBC series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Created by Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade, it's a surreal series that's a restrospective on a 1980s BBC horror soap opera that never existed in the first place. Cheap production values are the name of the game.  Thrasher gave Scanners a rewatch and found it to have a solid Peter Weller performance.  Listen to this episode while breaking a framed photograph of a former lover with another for maximum enjoyment.
