Danger Mouse is a product of the pre-digital age, when animation relied on the skills of draftsmen and rostrum camera operatives to bring imaginary worlds to life.
In this vintage clip from an ITV children’s magazine programme, we take a look at how a Danger Mouse cartoon begins life as a series of storyboards…
Flesh hungry freaks, exotic vampire dancers and black comedy combine in one of the great cult video store hits of the 1980s… Vamp.
At school, getting into the right fraternity can be a matter of life or death. Keith and AJ need to hire a stripper to entertain the brothers or their college days are over. In a shady after hours joint they find an adult entertainer like no other when they step into the world of sharp-fanged Katrina. Have these two freshmen bitten off more than they can chew? Stuck on the wrong side of town, on a dark night and surrounded by a plague of alien blood suckers the answer is definitely yes!
