• Watchlist

This award-winning short film is a valentine card to eccentric villainy and the classic 1930s horror films of James Whale & Boris Karloff. 3am. As fans leave a cinema screening old horror classics, a sideshow sits in wait inviting those who want to learn How to be a Villain, to come on inside... Once entered, the screen alights, a Featurette begins, and we are transported back to a world of shadows, mirrors, candlelight and Supervillain, who begins an instructional tour through his dark, elegant world, educating us on the ways of Villainy, illustrating the variety of options available. With shadow puppetry, humour and the love of monologue Supervillain will seduce us with his dastardly charm, to tumble deeper down into this world, unwittingly discovering his own master plan....
