The Art, Sound & Vision of The Haunting of Blaine Manor

The Haunting of Blaine Manor opens at The Kings Arms on Monday 23rd October and embarks on a Halloween Tour that is selling very fast, London 3 tickets away from selling out as I write this.  

I'd like to talk about the work of a couple of the many heroes involved in the production, theatre art is a collaborative process.  Darren McGinn (imagery and trailers) and Justin Wetherill (music and sound effects), both these guys are a huge and essential part of The Haunting of Blaine Manor.  Both have worked speedily and tirelessly, both bringing vibrant and colourful imagination to the project.  

​Both of the trailers below illustrate their talents, all imagery and imagination by Darren and all music and sound (with the exception of nature's input - thunder) were created by Justin.  The all too human and horrifying sounds heard within play were created by Justin and the cast one horrific afternoon in a recording studio in Sinister Sheffield.  We all went quite mad there that afternoon and you can hear us in the 2016 trailer below, that's all of our voices, no one else, and of course Justin's silky skills. 

​The first trailer below is the new trailer, for the 2017 Halloween Tour. 
And below, the 2016 trailer from last years sold out runs of the show...
Then of course there is the wonderful art of Darren McGinn in addition to his editing of the trailers and creations of the animations within them.  His portrait work of the characters is just beautiful.

Any of these images would look fabulous enlarged and framed in portraits, stunning imagery that perfectly captures the mood of the production.  Darren McGinn, amazing artist.  More of Darren's imagery can be found in the gallery below, all used to support this production, all imagery and photography in this gallery is by Darren.
