Hot Pink Shorts: The Making Of
World premiere of a new series on OUTtv - it's a behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process, through a queer lens.
Exploring private passions and dark desires, from the world of ballroom dancing to the depths of vampiric lust, Dr Terrible's House of Horrible comes from the makers of Human Remains, the acclaimed comedy of modern relationships, and stars Steve Coogan, creator of the hapless television presenter persona, Alan Partridge. As flames flicker in an open fire and a storm rages outside, Dr Terrible sits in his library to tell a grisly tale. Coogan takes on a different guise in each episode of this series of self-contained chilling narratives.

Dr Terrible’s House Of Horrible, written by Henry Normal, Graham Duff and Steve Coogan, is a new series of chilling narratives paying homage to the best of British horror film traditions.

Lesbian Vampire Lovers Of Lust sees Captain Hans Broken and his beautiful bride trapped in a remote castle at the
mercy of luscious undead ladies.
