A fine night at the Cinema Museum, with @annodracula.bsky.social introducing a Japanese horror double bill.

Also, Ma'am, are you sure that's your assigned seat?
Author Kim Newman on stage at the Cinema Museum near Elephant & Castle delivering an introduction to tonight's show. A pair of nice leather recliner cinema seats, with a black & white cat having a nap on one. A closer shot of Garbo the cat having a snooze on the cinema seat, curled into an orb of cat.

I am interviewed in this edition of the Scarred for Life podcast. I discuss media which gave me nightmares as a child - including this issue of Batman, a BBC radio HG Wells serial and the Macra on Doctor Who.

These are screen captures from the 1975 Graham Chapman/Douglas Adams sketch show pilot Out of the Trees. Any ideas where the spaceship and spacesuits might have been seen earlier?
