Scream For Me This Halloween

Step into the most haunted house in England with this creepy Snapchat filter

Ashley Thorpe first read about the “most haunted house in England” in the Usborne Book of the Unknown. It was the beginning of a life-long fascination with all things supernatural, and led to a career which over the years saw him produce a series of films based on the spooky folklore of the British Isles.

Thorpe’s production company Carrion Films has since made several award-winning short films in that vein such as “The Hairy Hands” and “The Screaming Skull,” and their unique animation style has earned him many fans. Yet the story of Borley Rectory remained, as he put it “his Everest.”

Borley Rectory is an animated documentary chronicling what came to be known as ‘The most haunted house in England’. The legends attached to the rectory and famed paranormal investigator Harry Price’s subsequent investigations of them, caught the public’s imagination during the 1930s, becoming one of the world’s most notorious ghost stories and influencing Shirley Jackson’s ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ and Richard Matheson’s ‘Hell House.’
