Lines: 17 On the subject of scary movies, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the classic Dead of Night and its remake. I've only seen the remake, but I heard the original was even better. The remake was pretty powerful stuff, even though I was hardly a wee lad when I saw it (well, I was maybe 16...). It's in three episodes, and starred among others Patrick McNee (of TV's Avengers and New Avengers). I don't remember the first two episodes too well, but the last one was a classic return-from-the-dead story, with wild scenes in the dark when the undead kid (no fancy makeup, just atmosphere) was playing hide-and-seek with his mom. I'll remember the great telephone scene for a long time... Any fan of old horror movies should check this one out if they haven't seen it. Bill Hsu pur-ee!hsut
