`It was maybe a little strange to cast an English actor as a serial killer from the backwoods of Kentucky, but everyone knew the Brits were good at playing evil . . .’ – Something Sinister In Sunlight, Lisa Tuttle

`Other methods included cutting all the legs off first, then finally the head. This could only be attempted with the more ratty dogs . . .’ – Dog, Reece Shearsmith
