Oh I used to love their appallingly acted and produced films, I always felt they were more comedy than horror. :)

It passed off as soft porn back in the 60s. I always wondered why the girls had such regular and solid black bikinis until I learnt about re-touching. :)

I loved the Hammer horrors when I was little, even though they terrified me.  It's good (and appropriate) to see them returning from the dead.

Clive, I feel really cheeky asking you this, but there's nobody else I can turn to.  Could I borrow your face for Halloween?

Sorry Rod.  I need it to scare the living daylights out of all the kids in my own neighbourhood.   There will be less to annoy me next year.  ;D
