As our regular readers out there will know, horror has always been a huge part of our passion for film here at Flickering Myth, and so today we’re delighted to announce that we are teaming with Shepka Productions and FM’s own Tom Jolliffe for The Baby in the Basket, a new feature film hearkening back to the Golden age of British Gothic horror, which is set to go into production in the Autumn.
Reuniting director Nathan Shepka (Holiday Monday) and screenwriter Tom Jolliffe (Renegades) following their previous collaboration on last year’s When Darkness Falls (available now on DVD and streaming on Prime Video, Tubi, Redbox, Vudu, Roku and Peacock), the Gothic horror tale is set to star up and coming British scream queens Amber Doig-Thorne (Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, Return of Krampus, Override), Michaela Longden (Jack in the Box: Awakening, The Ghost Within, Eating Miss Campbell) and Elle O’Hara (When Darkness Falls, Memories of Another, Tommy’s Honour).
We’ll have further details about The Baby in the Basket to share with you later this month (along with a bunch of other exciting content throughout the production!), and there is also going to be official teaser trailer launch taking place over on our YouTube channel on Thursday March 30th with a live premiere at 6pm BST / 1pm ET / 10am PT. We’d be incredibly grateful if you could join us, and help us spread the word in any way you can.
Be sure to set your notification for the trailer premiere on YouTube here, and in the meantime, we shall leave you with this first teaser poster for The Baby in the Basket…
THE BABY IN THE BASKET will be produced by Shepka Productions, in collaboration with Tom Jolliffe and in association with Flickering Myth. More details are available at Flickering Myth, Shepka Productions, and Jolliffe Productions.
