"Creature performer, stunt artist, contemporary dancer and all-round physical chameleon, Carter's approach to horror isn’t just about jump scares or shock factor—it’s about transformation....
...Visceral, disturbing, boundary-pushing transformation."

JOSS CARTER'S HORROR FAVOURITES
"As a creature performer, stunt artist, contemporary dancer and all-round physical chameleon, Carter has moved and morphed his way through everything. For Love Horror, Carter dives deep into the murky depths of his psyche to share the films that have most influenced him—not just as a performer, but as an artist of body and spirit. From cursed VHS tapes to black metal-laced dreamscapes and the cinematic equivalent of a decaying myth, his selections are as unnerving, poetic, and unflinchingly intense as his performances."


BIOGRAPHY
Joss Carter is a multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional creative working at the forefront of the avant-garde.
A specialist in the live action, creation, direction, and production of CREATURE movement and performance, Joss brings over 20 years of international experience across a vast spectrum of roles and responsibilities within the creative industries. His work demonstrates a remarkable ability to forge a diverse and dynamic professional portfolio career.
Born in 1988 and raised in South Shropshire/West Midlands, and now based in London, UK, Joss trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance (NSCD) — Graduating in 2010 with a BPA (Hons) from one of the world’s most prestigious contemporary dance conservatoires, his educational studies training in contemporary, classical, and somatic dance techniques, physical and emotional explorations of abstract concepts, experimental choreography, immersive performance, live art, music, and film.
This has formed the core foundations of his raw physicality, emotional expressivity, psychological interrogation, and spiritual sensitivity. Qualities underpinning Joss Carter’s extraordinary abilities, multiple identities, and authentic originality.
Today, Joss is regarded by many as one of the UK’s most versatile independent creatives of his generation currently working within the highly demanding specialist fields of live action creature performance.
With his own bare hands Joss has carved his name in stone and dug his own grave with the tools handed to him by those who acknowledge all the many treasures he can provide to successfully fulfil their vision.
His vivid imagination, visceral physicality and raw emotional sensitivity allows Joss to explore, create, perform, express, release, relate, appreciate and empathise with all characters, creatures, personalities, identities and shadows that hide deep within the fantasies, realities, abnormalities & insanities of not just himself, but the past, present and existence of humanity.
He summons, communicates and translates the angels, Gods, demons, devils, beasts, monsters, and all other natural and unnatural beings that possess his mind, body and soul. Applying a unique, original, innovative, authentic and inspiring forms of creative expression, he gives life to the things you can only dream about and would never ever believe or thought possible until you witness him transform in front of your very eyes into a living, breathing walking, talking pure manifestations of...............


"Carter gives an enjoyably grotesque performance."
"I have to give huge props to Joss Carter. His performance is playful without becoming comical but when he needs to be evil he delivers in spades." - Gavin Logan, The Fright Club NI
"He leans into the long-established grotesque look we expect. His first appearance is unforgettable.....
....a horror icon in his own right." - Sampira Al-Fihri, The Geek Show
"A wheedling performance" - Antbit, Projected Figures
"An excellent performance from Carter, who can tug on the heart strings one moment before being genuinely menacing the next." - Darren Gaskell, Love Horror
"This Rumpelstiltskin looks unnerving and the performance of Joss Carter is especially strong."
"Most impressive of all though is Rumpelstiltskin himself. Joss Carter's Rumpelstiltskin is pleasingly repulsive and slimy," - Ian Macleod, Gore in the Store
"Carter's performance is unsettling, bringing a disturbing physicality to the role" -Jon Donnis, Been to the movies
"Carter portrays Rumpelstiltskin in an entertaining, wicked manner." - Joseph Perry, Horror Fuel
"..it must be said that Joss Carter makes the script come alive ...dancing around and filling the screen with his menacingly comic persona." - Chris Ward, Flickering Myth
"Delivering shocking transformations, disturbing creature effects, and unrelenting tension, Carter’s physical, unsettling portrayal of Rumpelstiltskin adds to the horror." - JD, Masters of Horror
"Joss Carter deserves particular praise as Rumpelstiltskin. Carter delivers a performance that not only entertains but also elicits sympathy for the woodland imp."- Sean O'Connor, Macabre Daily
"Joss Carter’s take on the titular creature is animated and unnerving in all the right ways. Carter threads his performance with unpredictability. His portrayal feels genuinely otherworldly—he doesn’t just look like a threat; he feels like one." - Chris Jones, Overly Honust Reviews
"A hauntingly charming performance. Viewers are presented with a multi-dimensional character grappling with themes of greed, desperation, and the quest for identity. This depth invites audiences to empathize with Rumpelstiltskin, making the film more than just a simple fairy tale, but a poignant exploration of humanity’s darker desires." - Unknown, Blue Box Nerd
"From the dark, emerges: Rumpelstiltskin. Of course, the monster is only as good as its performance, and in Joss Carter, Rumpel is a delightfully menacing character. Carter's insidiously playful performance is physically small, but cunning and deceitful. Carter eats up the dialogue and chews his way through every scene."
REVIEWS



"Well realised and played to the hilt by Joss Carter....He’s the best thing here." - Steve Kirkham. The Darkside Magazine
"Rumpelstiltskin is deliciously played by Joss Carter. Carter is delivering on the chaotic performance that is crucial to any iteration of Rumpelstiltskin. He has a lot of creepy, sing-songy speaking idiosyncrasies and a physicality that sashays around Evalina." - Abigail Stevens, Screen Rant
