This year's victim has been carefully selected from a small but perfectly deformed pile of formed hopefuls, which for the other 11 months of the year go by the collective name of "kits I will never build". Without further ado, then, I would like to announce that I shall soon be attacking the Reliant Robin of the skies, the Westland Gazelle.
I shall also be attempting a 24 hour horror movie marathon, starting with my all time favourite of all time ever (after, of course, "Baby Oil Bonanza"), From Dusk Till Dawn. Cunningly appropriate. If there's a movie you would like me to watch for you during the Blitzbau attempt, feel free to chime in here and I shall consider/ totally ignore your requests as I see fit.
Would ya like to learn to fly? Would ya? Would you like to see me try?
This will prove to be interesting. Movie recommendation: Young Frankenstein. Come on, lighten up a little. After all, your build may just be Abby Normal.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale
So I'm trawling Amazon for Young Frankenstein and what should turn up but Dark Star. On Blu(e?) Ray no less. Sold.
Favourite Bomb #20 quotes coming to this thread soon.

I'm more of a Scifi fan then a horror fan but I have to admit I love Stephen King. Although as we all know his books rarely transfer to the big screen well. If I was to choose one of his movies I think it would fall to his TV movies which were the best. That would beIt, The Stand or the Shining (Non-Jack Nickolson) from 1997. If you have to go main stream then my selection would be a combo of Horror and Scifi. Alien. As you know "In space no one can hear you scream"
Lots of good points already. Dai has suggested 1950s giant ant-fest "Them", which, whilst strictly speaking is science fiction did manage to scare the poop out of me as a small child and so if I can track it down we can have that one.
Mirrors (Brews again), which if I remember correctly is the one with Kiefer Sutherland, is indeed freaky-scary and goes into the watch pile. On the subject of Brews' suggestions, I have realised that the lead actress in "House of Wax" is none other than Elisha Cuthbert. This came to me unbidden when I remembered her role as Kiefer's on screen daughter in 24, who was the single most irritating character in history. We may have to reconsider, despite the obvious visual attractions of Ms. Cuthbert.
Paul's suggestion of Nose Weight, which I must confess to not having seen, bears investigation. So far a search of IMDB has drawn a blank. Meanwhile, Paul can rest assured that any references to musical poultry portions made in the thread title are unrelated to my physical health.
The Wrath of Khan (Jeff) and Outland (Dirk) unfortunately are science fiction and have never managed to scare anybody. Actually that's not strictly true, Outland gave Warner Bros.' accountants nightmares for months. Even so, it's bending the rules much too far. Lest anybody cries "foul!", I would point out that Dark Star shall not be making an appearance either. Don't bet against Resident Evil though.
Disappointingly, nobody has so far suggested the Japanese schoolgirls vs. zombies extravaganza "The Girls Rebel Force Of Competitive Swimmers". On reflection, that may be a good thing.
