Billy MacKenzie mentioned there was a plan at one stage for him to star in a horror movie.
It didn't happen though, but local trumpeter Jimmy Deuchar did manage to appear in one many years before.
In 1964, there was a UK film called "Dr Terror's House Of Horrors".
Although it was a bit of a low budget romp, they managed to get Peter Cushing & Christopher Lee to star in it.
Doug McClure, Roy Castle and DJ Alan Freeman were also onboard.
As part of the movie soundtrack, they got Tubby Hayes to supply a couple of tracks, and Jimmy was in the Tubby Hayes Quintet at the time.
The Quintet had an acting role, as they were the band for a character called Biff Bailey, a trumpeter, but the music is by Tubby's Quintet and Jimmy does appear in the film as a consequence.
Incidentally, in the film, Jimmy plays an instrument called a Mellophonium, which is a big fancy trumpet.
