Dave Prowse with arms full of Hammer starlets Julie Ege, Veronica Carlson and Madeline Smith in a promo image taken during the filming of Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell. The film completed principal photography on this day in 1972. 🖤

This is such a fantastic photo: "The Witches' Tea Party" but I want to use it to explain the origin of the tall, pointy witches hat. The real story of this photo: These are residents at the Hospital of the Holy & Undivided Trinity: an almshouse in Castle Rising, Norfolk, England established 1610.

The availability of old films and TV shows. Even before you get into the stuff released on Bluray, the amount of things you can find on YouTube, DailyMotion & Internet Archive is staggering.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Didn't care for this one much when I was a young lad, but it's become more and more a favourite as the years go by. Just so much fun. Thanks for the company. Until next time, adieu! #TheFilmCrowd

Instead of Hammer House of Horror, when Hammer made their TV show, it should've been a contemporary series with Van Helsing and his daughter fighting various supernatural foes with help from the police chap in this and Satanic Rites. #TheFilmCrowd

There's a graveyard near where we live that has the exact same name as my mum. I think at first she thought it was some mystical message, but then she got bored and stopped giving a shit. #TheFilmCrowd

He's also in an episode of Murder She Wrote called The Legacy of Borbey House, where the victim is staked through the heart because everyone thinks he's a vampire. #TheFilmcrowd

We're gonna update it to the 70s, but start with a bit in Victorian times with Van Helsing and Dracula dueling that's the best part of the film, so that everything else is a bit shit. #TheFilmcrowd

First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

Sombre Gothic vampire film with some silly moments. Silly vampire film with some sombre Gothic moments. Another good Spider-Man film. Terrific stop-motion animation that is based on no one's book. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Terrance Dicks' Doctor Who novelisations are the reason so many people my age fell in love with reading. Tie in books create life long readers and they are written by incredible authors who capture and expand on the stories that we know.

There is a doofus currently arguing here that no "creative talent" would choose to write tie-ins, and since I just did a panel this weekend on why creative talents choose to write IP, here are a few reasons. Non-financial reasons, for fun and because frankly it usually doesn't pay that well.
