Stuart Torevell (born 1 April 1974 in Stockport, Greater Manchester) is a camera operator and rigger working for television production company Antix Productions on shows such as Most Haunted. He is a cousin of Yvette Fielding. Torevell is mostly known for his on-camera role as a paranormal investigator on Most Haunted and Most Haunted Live!. He has been a member of the program since the show started in 2002. He has alopecia, a condition that caused him to lose his hair. Torevell attributes his condition to a terrifying attack by a supernatural force at the Ancient Ram Inn. He also has arachnophobia as demonstrated when he reacts with fear when a spider crawls on his foot in Sleepy Hollow. Stuart has also been trapped in a room in another location causing him extreme panic and fear.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
