Things I learned from 'Scream and Scream Again'.


1. 1970s joggers run like girls.
2. 1970s joggers and hikers wear shorts so small they risk 'popping out' at any moment.
3. Being a 'great dancer' in the 1970s only requires jerking about in a slightly less uncoordinated way than everyone else.
4. If you send an undercover woman police constable to find a killer, the killer will be the first man to talk to her in the first club she visits.
5. A woman whose best friend has just been murdered by a vampire killer will still laugh and flirt with detectives when trying to identify the killer.
6. Roads west of London have an alarming tendency to switch from dual carriageways to narrow roads that look suspiciously like Silverstone race track.
7. If you are trying to pretend your hand is missing, just pull your floppy 1970s shirt cuff down over it. Nobody will notice one arm is about six inches longer than the other.
8. If you have captured a dangerous psychotic killer with superhuman strength, don't put him in a secure van bound hand and foot and watched over by several officers. Simply leave him out of site handcuffed to the bumper of a Morris Oxford where you can't see him, while you go and smoke a fag and congratulate each other.
9. Mutant vampires with superhuman strength will not simply rip the bumper off, they will rip their hand off instead.
9. Fictional eastern European border points look suspiciously like streets in East London with a few signs in Russian posted on them.
10. Government ministers in Eastern Europe drive English cars with right hand drive.
11. The logo of a fictional eastern European dictatorship will look suspiciously like a British traffic sign.
12. Artificially created Eastern Europeans have very little fashion sense even for 1970, and will wear a wooly bobble cap with a suit, in the summer.
13. Everybody's shoulder contains a spot which, if squeezed, will result in instant death.
14. Highly secret laboratories are left completely unguarded. Anyone can just walk in and snoop around without being noticed.
15. A naked artificially created woman will always manage to have her hands positioned in such a way as to cover her modesty.

16. Everyone just happens to have a satchel that can fit a human hand.
17. When killing random girls, always go back to the same club to find another.
18. Even though the band did a night gig, they can easily do an afternoon gig the next day.
19. Nightclubs are just as packed in the afternoon as they are at night.
20. Killing your bosses every time you are in a room alone with them does not bring about any suspicion at all.

Well, naked artificially-created women are not necessarily exhibitionists, you know!

😁

No blah, blah, blah!

One of the best threads ever. You are genius. I could have died laughing.

I totally agree. The woolly bobble hat had me in stitches.

21. When you're a nobody like the vampire killer or a nurse, you dissolve in the acid in about 2 seconds. But when you are Vincent Price, you get a nice long, slow death in the acid and have plenty of time for facial expressions
