Awards for Emma Hogan’s THE GHASTLY GHOUL

The Ghastly Ghoul (Dream Logic & Lupus Films), an animated special written by Emma Hogan, has won the RTS Ireland Television Award for Animation. It has also just been nominated for an Irish Animation Award in the Best Feature or Short Film category.

Directed by Kealan O'Rourke, Maurizio Parimbelli and Corinne Ladeinde, The Ghastly Ghoul is the story of Gary, a cute little monster that doesn’t believe he’s scary enough, and so disguises himself as The Ghastly Ghoul. When he misses the gateway back home, he is trapped in the human world. He forms a friendship with a young girl, Beatrix, who is struggling with her own insecurities and together they help inspire a sense of self belief in one another and try to find a way to get Gary home again in a Halloween night filled with magic and adventure.

The animated special aired on Sky UK, Kika and RTÉ to celebrate Halloween in 2022. Congratulations Emma!
