It has just been drawn to my attention that the mighty @RealGDT, a man who knows a thing or two about Frankenstein movies, reposted the announcement of my book. Thank you so much, sir! Please DM if you would like a copy.

Somewhat odd publicity still for Pajama Party which (a) I've never seen before and (b) gives a completely misleading idea what sort of film it is. Looks like some weird art film!

I find other people's dreams very boring, but I just want to record here that last night I dreamt someone had pointed out a film, not mentioned in my book, that Elsa was entirely cut from but you could still see the back of her head in one brief shot. I was weirdly calm.

Unexpected Elsa sighting! 80s duo Wax are one of my fave bands but I had never before seen this alternate American video for their song 'Shadows of Love' (director: Storm Thorgerson). The band perform in front of cut-outs of Hollywood icons - and there's Frankie and the Bride!

How brilliant is this? Lucas is an amazing animator who recreates classic scenes. Just in time for my book!
