Spent the day editing the video enhancements for Friday's episode and the sound balance is really off. Hopefully I can fix it in post... 😬

My Discover tab has gone weird. I know I do vintage movies sometimes but now all I'm being suggested is stuff about "do you remember drinking liquid lead and how our parents would let us ride on the roof of the car when they took us to eat at Mr Spunky's Gelatin Diner?"

@hypnogoria.bsky.social just listening to your Newsagents Nostalgia episode and wanted to thank you for solving a mystery re Castle of Horror, as I always thought it was an issue of the variously titled Hammer magazine.

I can shed some light on the source of the two comics' content, I think (cont)

I was enjoying it until two of my high-level items I'd spent ages grinding for vanished from my inventory between play sessions and when I reported it they just shrugged and I was told they couldn't do anything about it.

Working on Friday's upcoming episode, which will now feature OPENING TITLES on the YouTube version and a snappier intro to get straight into the action.

In the meantime, why not check-out the previous episodes at YouTube.com/@reelobscure or wherever you get your podcasts (non-video versions.)

Just discovered World Market had Hobnobs and Quality Street. And Boosts. And Mint Aeros. Just spent a silly amount of money there.

Who's up for some Sunday Schlock?

Then I have the very thing for you: BODY COUNT - a movie in which sense goes out the window along with plot and most of the cast's clothes! Is is a supernatural slasher? Or a murder mystery?

The answer is YES. It's so confusing!

Sure you could watch #Frankenstein and be like everyone else, or you could listen to me become increasingly confused by the mess of mayhem and murder that is Ruggero Deodato's BODY COUNT in the latest episode of REEL OBSCURE - complete with enhanced YouTube version!

Ah there was The Dollymops in The Dandy, about a group of street walkers who, each week, attempted to outfox the evil Saucy Jack... With hilarious results!
And costermongers. And whoremongers, though they probably appeared less in kids' comics.
Basically there is a limited subset of goods that may be monged.

There's a story in ‘Intervals of Darkness’ about a couple who meet, marry, have kids, give up on having hairdos, get scarred and worn down by industrial work, and then slowly decay into oil and rust. It's QUITE PERSONAL. Do give it a read.
Between them ‘Municipal Gothic’ and ‘Intervals of Darkness’ have 27 stories full of haunted buildings, haunted people, and working class weirdness. Obviously *I* think they're great – but so do strangers who owe me nothing!

It's Friday, Fright Fiends!

And that means a new episode of REEL OBSCURE!

This week I take a look at the complete nonsense mishmash of vengeful ghosts, psychotic killers, and boobs that is BODY COUNT.
