Sounds like somewhere you'd move from, if only you could. Love the Furs. Their "style" changed a lot.

Watched a LOT of this in the 60s. Probably back then I may not have realised that it was a comedy. Looks like they're coming out with a Filn version of this, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4E9TyrOFlQ. Will THRUSH win this time?

You can be this'll be an excuse to release the originals on DVD (though I wish they're release DVD setsvof The Wild Wild West instead, if they haven't already).

I also had a copy of Spyring by Waddington's as well.

I also had a copy of Spyring by Waddington's as well. - see http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3640/spy-ring You'd travel around a board and try and get secrets out of embassies without being spotted by the enemy. You had to have code words and there were antennas which you could stick in your spies heads. Games took FOREVER to play! I suspect they reused the pieces in a game called "The Sigma File".

No wonder espionage is not for the faint hearted - they would have had trouble reading the rules!

I have sort of fond memories of this game as well.

I have sort of fond memories of this game as well. I enjoyed playing it, but my parents never noticed that I seldom had friends over to play. You had to go around the board and open underground vaults with keys (full of feathers and goo) and grab tiny ghosts. When all the ghosts were found they'd be put in position around the Green Ghost. That was then spun, and if the hand pointed to one of your ghosts you'd win.

Of course the whole point was to PLAY IT IN THE DARK because the green plastic bits were all luminescent. Ah the Sixties.

It seems that there was a "Dark Shadows" game a lot like this as well see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvzwVpV8yRM.  I never saw that at the time, but I remember watching the horror soap with my mum. The folk at Collinsport always seem not to have any commonsense.

I used to have a set of these as well, but with only two cars. My memory of it was that even with the best batteries, the cars seemed so underpowered. It was made by the Ideal Toy Company, which I guess was trying to be another Mattel. More details at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorific. Once I made a circuit around my Green Ghost game.

Some undead media from the past.

Some undead media from the past. Undead media is stuff that is covered so much on Youtube and elsewhere (like Don't Fear the Reaper for example). But this is the ORIGINAL, and whatever one might think of retro hairstyles nowadays (mocking previous decade's fashions always seems to be popular), it's a CLASSIC.

I know many didn't like the Moroder version of Metropolis, but I did!

I know many didn't like the Moroder version of Metropolis, but I did! It stands on its own, though also as a product of an era as well. In any case you can still watch other versions as well.

Mind you, when I I saw this at the Village Cinema in Nedlands in the 80s, I sat behind two elderly women, and one said to the other This is supposed to be one of the greatest films ever made. I don't know what she said afterwards.
