Character
Skarkill
Skarkill in Knightmare (1987), played by Rayner Bourton.
Skarkill appears as one of the dungeon's hostile denizens in Knightmare, the fantasy realm where young 'dungeoneers' navigate traps and creatures under the guidance of unseen advisors. As a physical antagonist within the game, Skarkill exists to menace and obstruct, embodying the show's low-budget but earnest sense of danger.
Knightmare's charm always lived in its willingness to commit fully to cheap latex and dry ice, and Rayner Bourton's creature work is part of that tradition — a performer disappearing into a costume to give children genuine tension on a Saturday morning budget. Skarkill sticks in memory the way all the show's monsters do: as proof that conviction beats production values.
