Garth Marenghi

Garth Marenghi is a fictional character created by British comedians Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade, who satirizes the horror genre and the world of publishing. He is portrayed as a self-proclaimed 'horror author' and director, known for his over-the-top storytelling and absurdly humorous interpretations of horror tropes. The character became popular through the cult television series 'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace,' which parodies low-budget horror productions and showcases Marenghi's misguided confidence and ineptitude in the field of filmmaking.
