    Was 1979 the peak for the Cryptid Craze?

    Anyway, I am sure that the Snow Man will ultimately be defeated by the Six Million Dollar Man at the climax of this novel.

    Related to Willy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arnbarEkjmE
    And here’s Jonathan Richman on the topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EqdgLo5Lo8 (I’m surprised Jon Pertwee never released a cover).

    Frosty’s gone rogue.

    He’s not abominable – just misunderstood. I’m sure he’s happily share a nice biryani if people would just stop screaming.

    (If ever a cover deserved a right-in-the-middle five out of ten it’s this one.)

    @Ryan

    I’m pretty sure I remember that episode!

    Ewoks are somewhat less friendly if you’re not helping them expel the Galactic Empire.

    Ladies!
    Would you or wouldn’t you?
    has manscaping gone too far, or does this guy need a shave and a scrub up before heading out on a date?
    (I’m thinking he needs to brush his teeth first….)

  8. GSS ex-noob Says:

    I can’t be the only one who looked at this and thought “Bugger Bogner”.

    @fred: All it took was Bo, a curvaceous babe, and some dodgy camerawork plus fake fur.

    @Ryan: Those of us who are old enough do know that for sure.

    @B’man: Must have been the evil magician’s hat someone put on him.

    @Max: Brushing, heck. He’d better have some serious dental work done first.

    SNOW, MAN

    In the meadow we can build a snow man,
    And we can pretend it’s sparse and brown.
    He’ll say arrrrr …. arrrr … feast on flesh of huuu-mans!

    I see that the teeth used by Peter Vaughn as Winston the Ogre in Time Bandits, probably lost since about 1982, have now been found.

  12. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @VLTTP: Other way around! This came out before Time Bandits. So no wonder Peter ditched them ASAP.

    Either that, or these were merely the standard fangs available in Britain in the late 70s/early 80s Maybe @Tat Wood knows.

  13. Tat Wood Says:

    @ex-Noob. there were Hillbilly Teeth available in joke-shops but the nearest to those were the foam-jelly ones you got in mix’n’match bags at sweetshops.

    Or you could turn a segment of orange peel inside out and pretend to be an Osmond brother.

  14. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @Tat: Having grown up in the 70s with many Mormons, who were legally required to love the Osmonds, I’m fairly certain their teeth were even whiter.

    Perhaps these teeth were available in the arts and entertainment biz, not for sale to the public.
