You'll be all right Eccs - I think I know only one of them, so I'll leave the field clear for you and anybody else.
Like the late Chaircat Midge, I am not always right.

As it happens I checked my answer on one of them and I was wrong so there's just the two.
It's Sunday now. :D

Components of blood.

13 Corrosion; exploding bomb; flame; gas cylinder; skull and crossbones?
These are all hazard warning signs.

Joseph's Coat of Many Colours / Technicolour Dreamcoat? Part of me just wants to say a television test screen, but I don't really know.

9 Adam; Eric; Kristoff; Phillip; John Smith?
There's a Kris Kristofferson. Something to do with doubled first name/surname combinations?

10 dammit, I thought it might be cacti because I'd heard of Peruvian Old Man, checked one or two of the answers and decided it was wrong. :bang
