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.
There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is readily adopted.

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
