Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace

An amazingly accurate open for the British series “Darkplace,” a show that lampooned 1980s’ television drama, particularly horror and sci-fi.

    Excellent show.

    My girlf has seen the guy who play Marenghi running for a train, and apparently he really runs like that!

    Love this so much, the opening always gets me grinning before the shows even started. Another great TV show gone too soon.

    Aside from the fact that I am a devout fan of this six-episode series, what I appreciate is the thought given to the typeface relative to the genre/aesthetic. The story is explained through the scenes without much disruption from the text itself. Additionally, the text is applied in the manner of an authentic retro 80′s TV show.
