5 Reasons We Still Totally LOVE Labyrinth 30 Years On.
It's Labyrinth's 30th birthday and time to rejoice like the legendary David Bowie here!
Can you believe it? The fantasy cult classic that entranced us with its magical maze, wonderfully wacky puppets, ultra-80s soundtrack and the legendary David Bowie in *ahem* those tights (but more on him later) first graced the big screen all the way back in 1986 and it is still one of those precious films that stir up warm and fuzzy feelings of nostalgia. Here at TruffleTowers we may be a little older, a lot greyer and a whole heap wiser (ish), but we still love it â hey, maybe even more than back in the day! â so we felt it was only right to reflect on what makes this movie so magnificent.
So, without further ado, here are our 5 reasons why Labyrinth is still AH-mazing, 30 years onâ¦
David Bowie's majestic presence...
Need we say more? Probably not, but weâre going to anyway. The hair. Those tights. That juggling ability (okay, it wasnât actually him but we reckon he can pull it off with panache). Some SERIOUS swagger. Watching Labyrinth, we fear Bowie, but love him too (obvs) as he brings that unmistakable charisma to the role of Jareth the Goblin King. Who else could steal a baby, make a teenage girl tackle death defying traps (not to mention risk smelling hideous for all time!), attempt to possess her forever and STILL win us over? There were whispers that Prince, Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson were considered for the role in the early stages of production but we think itâs impossible to imagine anyone else doing it quite like Bowie.
Labyrinth The Board Game is coming! We catch up with it's creator to find out more...
Jareth: So, the Labyrinth is a piece of cake, is it? Well, let's see how you deal with this little slice...

Can you defeat the Labyrinth or will Jareth turn Toby into a goblin babe? You have 13 hours to find out with this epic board game base on the classic Labyrinth movie by Jim Henson. Each player takes on the role of either Sarah, Hoggle, Ludo, or Didymus and much like the film, players have '13 hours' to navigate Jareth's labyrinth to rescue baby Toby. The gameplay is designed to be fast-paced, family friendly, and open for up to four players.
The game consists of two distinct stages, one where the group must adventure through the labyrinth trying to find the goblin city whilst keeping their willpower as high as possible (nobody wants to fall into the oubliette!), and a second action packed stage where the players must fight their way into Jareth's castle where Sarah must say the magical words that will release her brother.
Get Some Vintage Cool With Our Top 7 Tees From The 70s...
Here at TruffleShuffle, while it's no big secret that we luuuuurrrve everything 80s (did you spot it yet?), there's is no denying our passion for the good old 70s!
Yes the decade that gave us Space Hoppers, Flares, View-Masters, The Wombles and of course Roller Skates to name a few is surely something worth celebrating. Can you really imagine your music collections alone without some of the classics from this decade? We sure can't!
To help tip our caps to this wonderful decade, we thought we would show you guys some of our favourite tees that we currently have in stock from and around this wonderful time. So! Without further delay, check out our Top 7 Tees From The 70s!
A real piece of cinema gold right here with Spielberg's cult classic Jaws. The tale of a huuuuuge killer shark that is terrorising the small island community of Amity is one that many of us will remember. Usually it's being pretty terrified and at least having a slight nervousness about getting into the sea for a little while (we sure did anyways!). A sure fire way to tell the awesomeness of a film we think is the simple things people remember, for this it's the iconic theme tune which still sends shivers down our spines and of course the classic line....."We're going to need a bigger boat", just two reasons alone to love this 70s legend.
