The original movie sought âTâ entries â and ultimately chose Lee Hardcastleâs stop-motion animated âT is for Toilet.â  The upcoming sequel, in its search for an âMâ, ultimately decided upon Robert Boocheckâs wildly clever âM is for Masticate.â
Producers Ant Timpson and Tim League, in association with producer and competition organizer Ted Geoghegan, were so impressed with the 541 entries that they saw an opportunity to expand the series â and offer a unique opportunity to their personal favorite contest entries. Â With this in mind, Timpson and League have carefully curated the most exceptional, clever, and entertaining entries into ABCs of Death 1.5, an unprecedented spin-off anthology celebrating their personal favorite âMâ submissions.â
