THE SHAPES IN THE WATER - The Chronicles of the Gill-man and Kindred Dwellers in Deep

On my little show this year, we have been exploring the history of the Gill-man and similar aquatic horrors. Starting with a look at assorted legends and folklore about aquatic monsters, we traced appearances of dwellers in the deep in weird fiction, and discovered how Universal came up with the iconic Gill-man. The series then explored the various sequels that followed, including Del Toro's The Shape of Water, a love letter to the Creature from the Black Lagoon. We then went on to uncover assorted cameo appearances by the Gill-man and finally we have looked at the assorted similar creatures, both reverent homages and outright knock-offs that followed in his wake. 

Find all the shows in the series linked below!

HYPNOGORIA 84 - King of the Castle

In this episode Mr Jim Moon sets off once more into the weird and wonderful badlands of 1970s British children's TV. Following on from our previous episodes looking at SF and horror serials produced by HTV , this week we look at King of the Castle, a seven part series written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin, the chaps who created K9 for Doctor Who and previously wrote the high bizarre serial Sky for HTV.  Would King of the Castle see them return to more family-friendly fare or did they top Sky and serve up a nightmarish fantasy tale that has been dubbed "Kafka for kids"? Clue: it might be the second one!
