This is a fun puzzle. I wonder how much is missing. It's a long shot, but another possibility is the Daily Mail serialization of They Found Atlantis from 8 January - 4 March, 1936. I have no plans to visit the British Library in the near future, but I will watch this thread with interest and if it's...

And another podcast from the US about the film, TDRO. You can watch the presenters recording the podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgjn6DTPLM8 Or you can listen to it as a usual podcast (as I did - I haven't seen the youtube version): https://gb.ivoox.com/en/s3e11m-the-devil-rides-...

Dennis Wheatley and Haunted Borley

Hi Folks, After seeing the page on this site exhibiting the letters between DW and the Reverend A C Henning about the booklet Haunted Borley I have tried (unsuccessfully) over the years to try and get a copy of the publication, Haunted Borley, written by A C Henning. It is usually too expensive when...

This is a fairly recent podcast, again from the US, about the film To the Devil ...a Daughter. It is fairly lengthy and I was concerned when it started with a lot of nervous giggles. But, the young presenters soon relaxed and I was surprised at how good, in-depth and thoughtful the podcast is. Pleas...

Please include me in any plans you make for the London Field Trip. :smt023

It is clearly inspired by TDRO with a bit of Wicker Man thrown in for good measure. A key link to TDRO film is the main actress in Guardian of the Abyss, Rosalyn Landor, who as child played Peggy in the film TDRO. Another link between Guardian of the Abyss and TDRO is they both share the same Gaffe...
