Mary Shelly lost her virginity on her mom's grave, facilitated a lesbian wedding, and carried her dead husband’s heart around in a bag, so, yeah, I agree, let’s return to traditional values.

Fresh meat was as precious as gold bullion back in the 70s. According, that is, to Letraset's dizzyingly exciting THE SWEENEY Super Action Transfers, which allowed kids to create violent scenes based on the classic post-watershed cop show. This meat blag is *carnage*, guv!

Few things delight me more than newspaper headlines from old Universal horror movies. This one from The Walking Dead (Michael Curtiz, 1936)
A picture of a scowling Boris karloff next to the following text: SCIENCE BAFFLED AS ELECTROCUTED MAN LIVES AGAIN Beaumont's Operation Believed Impossible, Nolan Will Sue State LIVES AGAIN John Ellman, electrocuted last night at midnight at State's Prison. lives again to day. Credited with bringing the man found innocent of Judge Roger Shaw's murder back from the dead is Dr. Even Beamont...

On her birthday, we'd like to remember special effects makeup artist Milicent Patrick who famously designed the Gill Man suit for Universal's CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.

I received a repeat fee today of £7:23 for my appearance in the BBC sitcom My Family. It was filmed at Pinewood Studios. At lunch, I sneaked off and had a nose around the 007 stage. Would never get away with that now.

Can anyone guess from this image what movie set I saw that day?

People fleeing war and persecution are ready and able to contribute to our society.

The problem is... they're not allowed.

Rather than shipping them off to army barracks all over the country, it's time to let asylum seekers work.

Loved Guillermo del Toro’s version of Frankenstein. And obviously had to paint Jacob Elordi, especially after seeing the hours he spent in make up.
Stunning and beautiful film.

The great Claude Rains was born on this day in 1889. Here's my portrait of him as Sir John Talbot in The Wolf Man (1941).

What's your favourite Rains movie?

Incidentally, the original portrait is available to buy here:

If the BBC gives one penny of tax payer money to that orange rapist I’m cancelling my license fee and I’m sure I’m not alone in that.

Had a go at turning this 1950s Diana Dors cover by artist R.S.Sheriffs into a t-shirt
A cover for a 1950s magazine called 'Men Only'. It features a thick-lined, stylised caricature of Diana Dors - all hair and lips - by the artist R.S. Sheriffs. The same illustration on a blue t-shirt that I'm wearing.

NEW! Columbo Decorations! Celebrating perhaps the greatest tv detective. They can be sent as cards and hung as decorations, the versatility is astounding!
Just one more thing...head on over to heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com for these and LOADS of other quality merchandise.
You know, my wife - she's a big fan of gifting her friends and family pop-culture related items, especially at Christmas. Me? Not so much but oh you should see her. She loves this one shop, 'Hey There Rocking Kids' or something it's called...'Hey Kids Rock'n'Roll' that's it! That's the one. Oh yeah, she swears by it. Just one more thing...this Columbo Decoration can be sent as a greetings card and it comes with an envelope, real good quality stuff. You can send it to a friend and then they can hang it on a tree or whatever. Oh and, sir? There's just one thing I'm not sure of... It says here it measures about 14cm high. Now I don't know about centimetres but I'd guess that's about five and a half inches, wouldn't you say?
