An album for children about horror movies and monsters. Some references are obvious like ‘The Thing’, ‘Blacky Lagoony’, etc, and some are about strange characters ‘Vampire Tiger Girl’, and some are covers (Sam And The Shams, Shockabilly). Chadbourne met Beresford and Ward at Eastcote Studios in London (where Adele, Duran Duran, Aswad, Tindersticks and Depeche Mode have recorded). They used a good part of the instruments available there (grand piano, euphonium, wood organ, sax, clarinet, amps, keyboards, guitars), with lead vocals from Chadbourne. Steve Beresford is famous for his solo recording 'The Bath Of Surprise', and was part of The Melody Four (with Lol Coxhill and Tony Coe). Alex Ward was 14 when he began playing as a duo with Derek Bailey, and as a trio with Steve Noble. The cover art is by JCMenu, the French artist who founded the graphic publishing company L’Association.
