Swindon costume designer uses love of horror to make scary masks for stage and screen

"I've always had a bit of a fascination with horror," says Rebecca Martin.

The 29-year-old costume designer from Swindon has opened her studio to showcase some of her spine-tingling, sustainably-made masks.

She is inspired by classic horror films like The Exorcist, and Tim Burton's filmography.

Her work has gone global thanks to commissions from a host of theatre and production companies.
