Penny Dreadful

Show Tidbits
The show takes place in London but was filmed in the Ardmore Studios just outside Dublin, Ireland.
 
The show's title, Penny Dreadful, comes from the pamphlets that used to be sold in London. Penny dreadfuls were pieces of a story, similar to how comics are created and sold strip by strip. The name comes from the cost, a penny, and the fact that the stories were usually lurid or horrific, dreadful.
