It's a classic Haunted Dickensian Cursed Objects Office Christmas Party! If you think Halloween is the spookiest time of year - you’re dead wrong.
We’re gathering round the metaphorical office photocopier to delve into the pagan origins of festive ghost stories. What can a mysterious RNLI lifeboat poster in Kasia’s hallway tell us about the ‘happy ghosts’ found in the haunted house that is Cursed Objects HQ?
And no festive season would be complete without a slightly tipsy guide to hauntology. Did Burial create it in a south London branch of McDonald's, or are its origins in the organic sounds of vegetables being destroyed for foley effects? Only a trip back to the 1970s and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop holds the answers. PLUS we have real-life, genuine ghost stories (well, one - about a ‘ghost plane’... oooOOoooOoo).
Back by popular demand, our now-regular Christmas tradition - we are a full house ft. our whole team, sound designer Mr. Beatnick and artwork maverick Archie Bashford.
Stay tuned to our Patreon for some special festive bonus content - including a reading of an M.R. James ghost story.
