This guy has actually written more books than he's read.. They should pay him a heroes wage... Never take drugs.

But he's not Jesus Christ.. he's come to accept that now

@@chase7767you stole my comment… but I’ve grown to accept that now

As an American, it's interesting to hear him speak candidly after watching Darkplace, cuz his Garth Marenghi voice sounds like someone who has an English accent doing a bad impression OF an English accent (or even what an English accent sounds like to an American).

[@CAMSLAYER13]

Look up horror writer Shaun Hutson. He is basically irl Garth, accent and all

Currently reading Terrortome. If there is ever a movie adaptation I think Tom Hanks would probably be up for playing Moses Unique or Typeface.

Garth Marenghi I love darkplace

[@mikefoster6018]

I saw Garth Marenghi live in London last night. The audience was in hysterics :) I'd been without wifi for a few days so was hoping for some nudity, but alas no.

Love Holness. Darkplace is obviously fantastic but his movie Possum is also a masterpiece

Also Gun for George.

The horror genre is in decline, reading is in decline, literacy is in decline, numeracy....the three L's. And it's from presenters like @Herring1967 misspelling Garth Marenghi that only serve to highlight this. I hope this doesn't impair your enjoyment of this ground breaking, genre defining series that is a genuine gift from author to humanity

[@JohnThelin]

Clicked over to the site, and...FFS, it's M_a_renghi, not "merenghi".

[@Herring1967]

Sorry for that mistake John. Will get it sorted out and will contact Garth to apologise for the error

[@jamesmaybrick2001]

@@Herring1967 Its that sort of disrespect that got the greatest horror show ever made cancelled before its time in the '80s. ;)

Apart from the hair loss, he's aged very well. He's almost 50! Still looking and sounding youthful.
