London’s cult Prince Charles Cinema, known for its arthouse screenings, eccentric line-ups and midnight marathons, has long been a staple for cinephiles and genre fanatics. However, the beloved venue found itself at the centre of a backlash regarding the planned world premiere, on Sunday 23 June, of a film titled The Last Screenwriter. Too gory? Nope. Too raunchy? Wrong again. *Gasp* Not starring Vin Diesel, surely? No, everyone’s safe.

A tradition since 1955, it's linked - rather bleakly - to legends about cats once being thrown from a bell tower, the reasoning for which is still subject to speculation... But one thing's for sure: people have always loved an opportunity to dress up and get a little weird. The desire to connect with past traditions, while also subverting them, is what makes folklore so compelling. Its rebellious idea...
