Seeing as it's Halloween tonight, what better time to show the photos from the set of Under The Sheet? Rebecca took these photos on set while we were filming. The Ragged School Museum gave us the perfect location we needed for this film, and contributed a great deal to the final look of the film.

I warned you...I warned you I would show myself...

Happy Halloween!
