    Rob (@spectralfilms) and I are seeking the identity of the traffic warden in THREADS for a documentary on the film. If you know who played this iconic character or have any leads for us, we’d love to hear from you. Please email [email protected] with any information. Thanks!

    Now we’ve recovered a bit: we’re so happy to have found Michael Beecroft, who played the traffic warden in THREADS. Thank you so, so much to everyone for your help and especially to @PhilHall1957, who identified Michael, and @BBCSheffield / @BBCLookNorth for bringing us together.

    Rob Nevitt (@spectralfilms) and I started shooting our documentary on THREADS and Sheffield yesterday. If you’re a local who appeared in or worked on the film in any capacity, one last call to give us a shout at [email protected]. ☢️

    And that's it: my book PHASES OF THE MOON: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE WEREWOLF FILM is indexed, proofread and submitted – gone, done, finito. It's out in November from @EdinburghUP and you can order it from them for the princely sum of £19.99 (if you like): edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-phases-of…

    "Send it to another journal" sounds like great advice, though not for the reason the editor intended...

    Ten years ago, I wrote an undergraduate dissertation about werewolf movies. A decade later (with a PhD thesis in between), @EdinburghUP has just sent me a copy of my book on the subject. More than a bit surreal.

    I have just finally finished writing PHASES OF THE MOON: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE WEREWOLF FILM. I'm going to submit it to the publishers tomorrow. For now, though, I'm going to have a drink and watch WOLF.

    Yesterday I signed the contract for my next book with @EdinburghUP, BLEEDING US DRY: INDEPENDENT AMERICAN HORROR AND ANTI-CAPITALISM, which is exciting (to me, anyway). It will (eventually) be published as part of the #21stCenturyHorror series. Here's some films it will cover...

    On one hand, it's genuinely sort of unbelievable that this is a real thing that I wrote and someone wants to publish. But on the other, now I have to index it...

    The @ArrowFilmsVideo release of AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON is out today. Firstly, it's amazing. Secondly, I am really proud to be a small part of it.

    THREADS opens the inaugural Sheffield Film Festival at @showroomcinema on 2 August. @spectralfilms and I will be there to talk about our doc on the film with the traffic warden himself, Michael Beecroft. There's still an aisle seat left if you're quick... showroomworkstation.org.uk/threadspanel
