There’s a hole in our lounge floor where we had a wall removed, so before we get new carpet laid, I thought I’d make a little something to fill it. Then years in the future when the next owners replace the carpet… they’ll crap themselves. You’re welcome, future people I don’t know 😂😈👁️ #creepy #craft

As the saying goes, when life gives you teapots… make teapot houses.

So yeah, every time you see that little yellow shark... I guess you can blame us. Haha.

I'll pop our video in the following post if any one feels like getting the song stuck in their head. 6/6

Wait… so would this clean my toilet or just fill it with bullshit?

I made a thing...

Made this creature (The Ego Worm) based on a sketch by fellow Muk @wethesqueemish.bsky.social. It’s for something secrety secret at the moment… but it was very fun to make. #sculpy #creaturedesign #creature #worm

So we inherited an (almost) life size Santa and we store it in our guest house bedroom and Stacey decided putting a sheet over it was a smart idea and now I fill my pants every time I open the door to the room. (2nd image to show what my brain really sees) #ghost #scary #paranormal

If you're a fan of dark comedy/horror/thrillers/cabin in the woods movies, then I HIGHLY recommend 'Companion'. Don't watch a trailer or even look at the poster as they are spoilery. Although, I had seen them and I still had a blast. Can't wait to see what Drew Hancock does next.

I've written a book based on our TV series which was based on a book 😂 A new Badjelly picture book is coming soon! (I'm not nervous, you're nervous!!)

Loved Nosferatu… not sure a sequel is necessary though 😜

Just introduced my kids to Return to Oz. It’s aged so well. It’s still perfectly dark and magical and fun… and Fairuza Balk as Dorothy is outstanding.

Seeing a huge electronic billboard for our new series (Badjelly) in the middle of a busy mall was an unexpected thrill!

Making this kids dream come true by seeing #Gremlins2 on the big screen.

While writing and directing is my passion, I also dabble in cake making… mainly for my kids birthdays. Here’s a few from the past few years. #cakes #cakemaking #cakedecorating #cakeart
