The Gorbals Vampire

Postby ShwayShway » Mon Oct 01, 2018 12:34 pm

Hi all

I am MA Filmmaking student at the UWS. I am researching for a short documentary around the Gorbals Vampire event that happened in the Gorbals in the 1950s. I am looking to source archive material from that time, photographs and film. It doesn’t have to be Gorbals anything from Glasgow at the time will be fine. I already have Mediatique at the Bridgton Library, The Scottish Screen archive and the Mitchell library on my list. I was hoping the forum could suggest others, or perhaps the members have their own photographs and films they would be willing to let me use in the film? Fully credited of course. My email address is [email protected] Thanks in Advance. Colin

I grew up in the Gorbals in the 60's and don't recall this story.

Except the 50's was quite close to the 60's so you might have expected the story to still be well known

Now you've posted that, I have a faint recollection of the story, in respect of us all playing in the graveyard and it beingtold to stop us going there.

Man, this comic book sent me on a nostalgia trip. I should have it somewhere too if it wasn't tossed out by mistake.
