The Room in the Tower - A Ghost story by E.F. Benson

'The Room in the Tower' is an adaptation of the much anthologised short story from E.F. Benson, the writer of the much loved social comedy series ‘Mapp and Lucia’. Benson wrote many spook stories and ‘The Room in the Tower’ is one of his best.
The story is about a young man, troubled by a recurring dream about a house with a mysterious tower room that contains something dark and dangerous. The film has been hand sketched and animated by Richard Mansfield with narration by Henry Regan from LGBT horror ‘The Secret Path’. Daniel Mansfield provides the voice of the sinister and evil Julia Stone. The film was animated on an iPad with the Photopuppet HD app.
