	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.
