Following on a sold-out class on the work of sci-fi author J.G. Ballard<\/a> with visiting instructor Jack Sargeant earlier this month, the Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies \u2013 London returns in February with a special instalment of ‘Live From Miskatonic’, featuring director John Hough in an extensive on-stage interview with Filmbar70 curator Justin Harries.<\/p>\n

From 60s TV series The Avangers<\/i> and salacious Hammer Horror Twins of Evil<\/i> to 70s gearhead staple Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry<\/i> and children\u2019s classics Escape to Witch Mountain<\/i> and The Watcher in the Woods<\/i>, British filmmaker John Hough has had an eclectic and storied career behind the camera. He considers himself a craftsman rather than an auteur, but is responsible for some of the most beloved films in horror history \u2013 most notably his 1973 adaptation of Richard Matheson\u2019s novel Hell House<\/i>.<\/p>\n

In this special instalment of ‘Live from Miskatonic’, Hough will participate in a lengthy on-stage conversation with our guest interviewer Justin Harries, the curator of London\u2019s popular FILMBAR70. The conversation will cover Hough\u2019s early television career, his work with Hammer Films and Disney, his interactions with 1970s renegade Hollywood and his work with screen giants such as Orson Welles, Roddy McDowell, John Cassavetes, Max Von Sydow, Sophia Loren, Rod Steiger and so many more. The talk will be punctuated by film clips and there will be a Q+A period following the formal discussion.<\/p>\n
