That’s because it feels like a near-bottomless well of comedy. A little like Spaced and Chris Morris’s Brass Eye, Darkplace used the mechanics of TV and film as part of the joke. There’s funny stuff happening everywhere: shaky dubbing, sound effects that don’t quite match what’s happening, amateurish cutting and elementary continuity errors. In between scenes, “new” interviews with the surviving cast add even more. “She was like a candle in the wind,” Ayoade’s Learner recalls of the missing Madeline Wool. “Unreliable.” The characters Garth Marenghi, Dean Learner and Todd Rivers from Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place (Photo: David Lodge/FilmMagic) Mulholland, Garry (2002).

Holness, now 47, grew up in Whitstable, happy and secure with his parents and brother. Nonetheless, horror seemed to be everywhere: he was spooked by bleak news bulletins and the kinds of public information films that warned children of electrocution by pylons and drowning in quarries, and he became fascinated by what Marenghi would call “the fantastique”. The game runs fine on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. However fullscreen mode doesn’t work on Windows 8.1 and 10. From the twisted genius of horror master Garth Marenghi - Frighternerman, Darkscribe, Doomsage (plus Man-Shee) - come three dark tales from his long-lost multi-volume epic: TerrorTome. We put those same queries to Marenghi. Here’s what the author, actor, and self-confessed doomsage had to say.

If you've ever enjoyed being in a Dark Place then this book will feel pretty familiar. I couldn't get the footnotes to work on my Kindle and some of the redirects appeared to leave me in an alternate dimension, but I guess I should have expected that. I guess it's marginally better than my current favourite "Just Another Apocalypse" because (i) it's shorter (ii) some of the sentences make sense.

In 2001 their follow-up, Garth Marenghi’s Netherhead, won it.

Holness inhabits his alter-ego so completely, never once casting doubt on Margenghi’s belief that he’s a serious, heavyweight author, that he’s able to improvise answers to whatever the audience throw at him. That Marenghi is so aloof and self-important that he can shut down some of the more esoteric or bizarre inquiries with a taciturn ‘no’ helps – though it’s a device he uses a bit too liberally.Eventually making it in with an early Marenghi sketch was “one of the greatest feelings, for me, in the world”. Holness wore his granddad’s old glasses and channelled the pulp writers he loved. “That was the first thing I did in the Footlights that got a good reaction,” says Holness.
