NEWS FROM YE OLDE HOUSE

 

 

MONSTER TIMES

WELCOME TO FRAGG'S NEWS PAGE

April 17/04/07

CHECK OUT THE TWO NEW ADDITIONS TO THE MUSIC ROOM

Disney's classic "Haunted Mansion" & Vincent Price brings you "A Graveyard Of Ghost Tales"

Nothing like a good ghost story just before bedtime

SLEEP WELL MY FRIENDS

For those returning to the site,i have finally speeded up the model gallery and managed to keep

it all on one page rather than spread across two.

Although you cannot enlarge the images now,i feel it's a big improvement as i had a few complaints

about loading times.

So hopefully everyone's much happier,if you prefered the older galleries then drop me a line and i'll

bring the old ones back.

You will also notice some new additions as in rolling cubes and hexagon's.

Quite snazzy and i used picture trail to create them and hope everyone likes them.

Simply click on the images to enlarge and click again to return

THE PROJECTOR ROOM

Many,Many Thanks to everyone for the excellent feedback i've had on the new room.

It seems there are alot of fans out there of the old super 8mm films like myself.

I'll keep filming new extracts to keep the page fresh and worth returning to see what's new.

Of course if i can find new content to add then i'll keep updating it.

 

CONGRATULATIONS

To find it you must search the site for this door

UPDATE

1/02/08

Well here we are already into February

I've been very lazy lately and not done any work on the site and it's now time to buckle down

and get some updates done.

So what's coming in 2008

The new room is almost completed and will be launched in the next day or two

New updates coming on my recommendations room

The Music room will have some new classic stories to listen to

There's a couple more important films that i need to add to the Universal room

I've also negleted the Hammer films room and that really needs some work

EXCITING NEWS JUST IN

A print of the original Lugosi Dracula 1931 has been found intact.
 It contains the Edward Van Sloan speech in front of the curtain
 a bit like he did at the start of Frankenstein which has never been shown
 and the scene where Renfield pics the fly off the fainted womans face. 
 Universal has supposedly taken possesion of the print.
 
I'll see if i can get any further information and update as and when i get it
 
I hope this is true and if it is then expect to see the new version
in the future.
My own feeling on this is that if it is true then Universal will hold it back
until the 80th Anniversary or we could be looking at the 100th in which case
 i may not be here to see it
 
THANK YOU's

A BIG THANKYOU goes out to Simon Edwards for getting in touch and offering me a copy of

DRACULA,PRINCE OF DARKNESS on Super 8

A great little edit this on a 400ft spool

Also

To Mike Schwartz, thankyou for the compliments,due to a computer crash i lost your e-mail address

so if your passing drop me another e-mail

OH YES

Thanks to those who have e-mailed saying that the site is one of the best kept secrets on the web

I've not spread the site about to much,mainly because if you're a monster fan then you will eventually find it

and i think it's nice to find a gem on the super highway now and again

On another note my counter clock on the homepage seems to keep messing up and loses hits every so often

the actual count to date according to my account is :- 26,715

WOW!!!

I'll put an E-MAIL link on this page to make things easier for everybody

That's about it for now,so keep checking the news page for everything horrific

Here's a shoutbox so if you want info or want to say hi then don't hold back
