Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

WHAT'S THE STORY? Top spoof horror series set around a Romford hospital, featuring talking placentas, driving rats and other horrors more ridiculous than Mark Lawrenson's thatched roof haircut. Which, as ridiculousness goes, is pretty ridiculous.

ANY GOOD? Crap special effects and shoddier characters than My Hero, which is exactly the point. The John Carpenter-esque soundtrack is positively bowel-stirring, though.

SCARIER THAN: The recent Omen remake.

LESS SCARIER THAN: Real Romford hospitals. Romford.
