While we're on the subject of breakfast table giveaways, I had my dad eat about a hundredweight of Weetabix to collect these.
@BungleSir This year's Valentine's card:
Roses are red
So is blood...
We're looking to do Scarred for Life merchandise, posters, badges, teapot cosies (OK, maybe not that last one). Would people be interested? Check out our poster concept below!
Pan Books didn't only try to horrify their adult readership with their Books of Horror, their book line for children under the Piccolo imprint published these beauties. Skeleton women and twisted, demonic versions of animals made for high octane nightmare fuel.
1980s kids didn't even have their fears of nuclear annihilation assuaged by collecting bubble gum cards. Rock-hard gum was the least of their problems with 1985's Garbage Pail Kids cards. Yes, they only cost 12 pence a pack but they also cost you your peace of mind forever.
The 1970s and 1980s seemed like a golden age for the horror anthology and the often gruesome covers were a magnet to kids everywhere. Most sort after were the Pan Books of Horror with stories chosen by Herbert Van Thal but Fontana's line of books were almost as tempting.
Not all cartoons are pleasant viewing. 1978's Watership Down, about nature red in tooth and claw, traumatised children everywhere. And since the song from the film, Bright Eyes, was number one for six weeks in early 1979 we had to endure dead bunnies every Thursday on TOTP.
