Narrated by Rupert Friend, this film by Nick Knight and Charlotte Stockdale references cult horror stories and bits of folklore researched by Rei Nadal online, using sites such as Wikipedia. The film features the likes of Ruth Bell and Binx Walton. The footage was shot during the making of Knight's S/S 15 editorial for Garage magazine and features fashion by houses such as Miu Miu, Margaret Howell, Gareth Pugh, Comme des Garcons and Ikonostas.

For Halloween 2015, Veuve Clicquot tapped Nick Knight to curate an immersive event featuring film, artworks and performances by a host of daring and subversive creatives. The debut in the champagne doyens’ The Window Series - annual events curated by cultural leaders in celebration of the famous widow Madame Clicquot - the exhibition aimed to delight and frighten the senses.The event was held in the former Central Saint Martins College building in Holborn, a space that was once alive with creative energy and passion. Knight aims to bring that mood back to the space, awakening the senses through a variety of immersive installations. Dubbed A Beautiful Darkness, Knight’s event features never-before-seen work.At the centre of the show are four newly commissioned fashion films on the theme of horror by upcoming and established talents including Knight himself, Rei Nadal, Ruth Hogben and Jeff Vash. The films remain exclusively on SHOWstudio to view long after the event.
