Nigel Kneale's brilliant ghostly tale. This'll put the scares up you. Unless you are M'Virn, in which case she'll be a tower of strength to those of us (me) who will be a quivering wreck by the end of the tale... https://youtu.be/rnDerD1lacw?si=Cob20...Gxo4oye1P6 Be there and get a scare! Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Be there and get a scare! So much for your 'full monty' cultural night out in Sheffield. Not surprised you cancelled. You're probably on some sort of Arts Council blacklist anyway. Hope to join you all but have been to Bath Christmas Market today and have overdone the mulled cider. |

If I can post this and do the rewatch, wracked with heart rending coughing fits as I am, then you being p****d is no excuse. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Unless you are M'Virn, in which case she'll be a tower of strength to those of us (me) who will be a quivering wreck by the end of the tale... Last night, just before I got into bed, I picked up a copy of Salem's Lot. All I did was to read the introductions, 1 by Stephen King, 1 by Joe Hill, author and his son... I had the most horrible dream involving a deadly plague which turned people into oozing mush... I am not expecting to get much sleep tonight... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

To be fair, you could scare yourself daft just reading cover blurb. |
