department store wax mannequins melting in a heat wave

The first draft of the '80s film 'Mannequin' was far more daring than what finally reached the cinema screen...

Its good to see that even the forces of darkness are sensible. And that applies to the person wearing the gauntlets, also.

They have a decent grasp of English in Transylvania.

Was that photo taken somewhere around Whitby? Early on in the original novel, this happens:

Dracula takes a ship for England with boxes of earth from his castle. The captain's log narrates the crew's disappearance until he alone remains, bound to the helm to maintain course. An animal resembling a large dog is seen leaping ashore when the ship runs aground at Whitby.

I hope it was stuck to Dracula's actual grave

When I see 'Whitby', I am unable to stop myself from singing the song title: 'Only A Prawn In Whitby', by Cud.

Utterly charming! Wait... did I say 'charming'? Actually I meant disturbing.

terrifying

I saw that film on ITV one Bank Holiday, in the late 80s. It's a Children's Film Foundation movie called "Mr Horatio Knibbles". I remember really liking it at the time, and then decades later I saw what Horatio Knibbles looked like again.

Also, a ghost Hitler in the front seat is an ideal way to circumnavigate the rules for car sharing lanes.

The Italian beef one reminds me of that picture of the skull full of teeth.

Bagel With Lox sounds like a 90s dance music duo who've earnt themselves a top 15 hit with a cover of a disco classic.

There's a primetime TV show to be made from that sandwich poster, a set of darts, and two contestants.

They're definitely talking about 'Two Princes' by the Spin Doctors.

I personally think they're talking about this:

You know when you see a word like "gay" in really old magazines or newspapers, like from the 1950s or the 1960s or something, and they use it in a way that no longer makes sense, and may even seem a bit weird? Well, the progress of both history and culture has now come for Smash Hits in 1991 (and EMF):

If I ever become a DJ, I'm taking this as my name. I don't think that bloke wants it anymore.

(Oh, and check out the name of his then-new band!)

I think I've been on a website called Milfzone, but I can only presume that DJ had left/been sacked before I accidentally found the er... specialist site...
