I've got the game, too (found in a flea market), but sans fangs.  I thought - but am not sure - that they were connected uppers and lowers.

Even before DUEL, Spielberg made a little horror film called SOMETHING EVIL (1972), which starred Darren McGavin (just prior to his NIGHT STALKER stint), Sandy Dennis, Ralph Bellamy, and Johnny Whitaker. It was a made-for-TV flick, and was downright terrifying to me as a kid. Watching it now, it still holds up as a very effective film, if not quite as scary as it was when I was 13.

It occasionally runs on the Flix movie channel, uncut. I recommend it highly if you get a chance to watch it.

There was one scene in particular, Mark, in "Something Evil" that caused me to shiver, and still does.  It was the one where they are viewing a film clip they made of the house, and as they watch it a pair of shimmering eyes appears gazing out through a window.  An extremely creepy moment.

I just got in from the supermarket, putting stuff inside the fridge, when my renter friend - who knows I'm a big DS fanatic - came running downstairs, ran past me into the living room, picked up the remote on put on Passions (I don't watch it myself).  There they were, two characters walking away in the night, the background music being the Dark Shadows theme.  My, we do have influence, don't we?

Whotta guy!  I bet you can open a bottle of champagne as smoothly as Roger Collins can uncork a bottle of fine wine.

The trick is, Midnite, to get the effect of the cork popping outta the bottle without half the bottle's contents following along behind it!  There is a way to do it, involving twisting first in one direction, and then the other, and using a properly placed towel.  Voila!

By the way, if you ever go on a cruise and suffer mal de mar, drinking champagne that has been open for one day and kept at room temperature will settle your stomach right down.  I learned that from a steward whilst crossing the Atlantic on the QE2.

Umm - you wouldn't really want to start doing something that might tick the Webmaster off, would you?

MB, you're naughty!  No champagne for you!  Well, a little.

Good point kuanyin saw that movie the other night
cremation  would be better!

also for all of who you have totally grossed me out just hearing you describe the movie "Freaks" what is it about?

Okay, but not to give too much away (you really should see it, especially since it's available on video), here's what it's about in a nutshell.  It takes place in a circus, centered around the freaks exhibition.  Real "freaks" were used, some quite popular at that time and real celebrities.  A beautiful acrobat has her eyes set on one of the freaks, a dwarf, simply because she believes he's loaded; the golddigger is actually the girlfriend to one of the circus strongmen, and the two are plotting how to use the dwarf (even to the point of murdering him) in order to get the moola.  The whole underlying theme is how the freaks try to live "normal" lives, wanting - despite their physical oddities - to be recognized by the "normal" world for what they really are:  human beings.  Because of that difficulty, the only place where they can find acceptance is amongst themselves.  And here comes this beautiful "normal" woman, who seemingly not only accepts them, but is apparently in love with one of them.  Do they find out what she's really up to?  Well, you'll just hafta watch "Freaks" and find out.............

Gerard

By all means, Gregory.

Some time last year, I found a coffee table type book about the career of Tod Browning....with LOTS of photos. I picked it up and opened it randomly.....and  almost dropped the damned thing on the Borders Books floor!!  I'd swear even the PRINT looked demented ...never mind the pictures!

So thanks for finding it, Gerard, but as I said, one viewing of "Freaks" was enough for me.

By the way.....I'd be amazed if the version shown on AMC was uncut from the original.  Do you know?

Raineypark

It was totally uncensored.  Every scene I read about before seeing it on AMC was there, plus the AMC host said something some like "and now, in its entirety...."  He had stated how the film was banned for decades, and even when it was finally allowed to be shown in certain places, various scenes were censored.
