What is Mister Horncastle?
Mister Horncastle is an online identity, in other words, it's me!
My name is Callum Horncastle, I'm a video-maker, writer, comedian, and gamer.
​
Years ago, I created a YouTube channel, by the name of Old Man Dusters - this was my former identity.
The channel was a multimedia entertainment hub, designed to bring light, laughter, fun, and adventure to people.
​
It started with silly videos, just random wacky nonsense.
Soon after, I expanded into all sorts of videos... Let's Plays, Vlogs, Shorts, music, memes, all sorts!
Then I created characters, played by myself, and I would tell stories with them, which eventually evolved into my very own web-series known as 'The Dusty Chronicles', which despite only airing the first of three acts, was very successful.
All in all, I had a great thing going, with thousands of followers and millions of views.
​
And then, my YouTube channel was hacked, and the channel I had lovingly tended to for years was taken from me;
the entire identity I had dedicated the past decade to, came crumbling down into ruin...
​
It was a rough time, and even to this day, my mental health has struggled to recover from such a cruel event.
But from the ashes of my old self, comes a new venture for me.
​
Focusing less on the 'brand' and more on the 'me', I've created a brand new venture for myself.
It's Old Man Dusters, but no longer as a grand media hub, it's just me.
​
You can expect the same content, and better. There will be all sorts of adventures ahead, with plenty of varying themes, narratives, genres, and characters, new and old - yes, Dusty and the gang will return.
​
That's mainly all I have to say on this intro page, please feel free to navigate the site, and browse all the crazy nonsense I have to offer.

Welcome to the newer, truer, better me - Mister Horncastle.
