Welcome To (Family Friendly) Frighnight!

  First featured in Scottish Autism's late lamented Autitude Magazine many (many) moons ago I thought I'd reshare Amelia and Embeth's favourite freakishly fun and more importantly for youngsters starting to get into 'the horror' family friendly fright films for Halloween here for those who haven't read it. And let's be honest the Halloween themed posts of late are at least a wee bit more uplifting than the true horror that is our housing situation. Anyway, enjoy!    Corpse Bride (2005) Tim Burton's stop-motion classic - featuring the voices of Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Joanna Lumley and the fang-tastic Christopher Lee - centers on the poor lovelorn Victor and his bride to be Victoria whose parents arrange for the pair to be wed in the hope of elevating Victor's nouveau riche parents to the upper classes whilst restoring Victoria's families wealth and standing.  Although the pair hit it off immediately, Victor ruins their wedding rehearsa...

Dance Macabre.

As ever, just in time for Halloween....(almost) every single horror/cult/Eurotrash themed mix from the infamous Man With No Suitcase pre-club and beyond.   Just the right thing to get your party going with a bang. Probably.            

A Musical Interlude.

  For your Halloween party pleasure (well it is my favourite time of year) are the  weird and wonderful mixes of Euro-centric and cult American cinema soundtracks that I curated for  Blue Azure's rather marvelous monthly music show a few months back. Click to download and enjoy! Colour Me Giallo The American Scream   And for true music connoisseurs you can hear the full shows here and here .   

It's not me....

 Just sayin'.  

Thunderbirds Are Go!

  "Anything can happen in the next hour!" Celebrate Thunderbirds Day with 60 minutes of Fab Supermarionation sounds.....  

Update Mate.

A quick update for those who care.....just back from (another) meeting re: the house, this time with the new housing officer. Surprisingly it wasn't an utter shit show. The new housing officer was respectful, attentive and very professional which was a nice surprise. And the old housing officer? Well she was aggressive and angry, constantly shouting "I never done it!" at every opportunity (no, seriously) which, when your only achievements in 6 months are reporting us to adult services, breaching the equality act and being unable to arrange a skip being picked up without our help, is a pretty brave stance to take. Anyway onwards and upwards.
