Bonus! Here's the theme to 1980's slasher film "Madman", but please note, I don't want to break any copyright so get this: It isn't the original. I just sat down at the piano and sung my own version. It's a bit of an improvised performance, but hope you enjoy it!

Let me know any suggestions for covers of obscure B-movie horror songs!

SORRY FOR LONG DELAY - SHOW WILL RETURN

Hi everyone, just a quick note to say sorry that there hasnt been a new show lately. Things have been hectic and I have been plugging on with my masters degree as well as getting ordained and going full time at the church where I am the minister. However, from April, if not before, I should be able to get back to putting some shows out. I just need to know if anyone would listen?

Also any advice about how I might give the show a revamp? I'm wondering if they need to be a little shorter and more focused on the single review instead of including lots of news and ramblings. I would also consider moving the show to Podbean which seems more reliable but it might risk a bunch of subscribers not reliasing there's been a change of host and so thinking the show has just stopped. What do you think? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for listening and watch out for new episodes in a while.

My Sasquatch Friend Song

Here's a little song for your pleasure. He he.

The lyrics so you can sing along!

"Getting Closer...

And no-one really knows.
Where he's gonna be.
Hiding in a cave,
or swinging from the trees.
The camper van is here
The stars are out to see.
And it is lovely.
But does he want to know me?

Cos maybe if I knew.
He was really real.
I would not be so excited.
What's that noise a cracking twig?
Whatever made it was very big.
Hope its not Barry in his suit and wig again.

Cos I'd love the mystery to come again.
And maybe then.
I'll find his den.
My Sasquatch friend".
