Charles Dickens' 'Ghost Stories' from the Pickwick Papers. The Ghost in the Wardrobe: A young law student moves into an old rooming house haunted by a resident ghost. Tension grows between the two, building to a surprising conclusion. The Mail Coach Ghosts: Time travel puts a young man on a collision course with a ruthless nobleman and his evil henchmen. When the young man falls in love with a beautiful maiden, a captive of the nobleman, he plans a daring rescue to free her. The Goblin and the Grave Digger: Fiery nether-regions set the scene for this unearthly tale of a grave digger put on trial for his life by the King of the Goblins. The eerie account of his nightmarish ordeal is a special effects encounter that will enthral fans of the supernatural.

I mean it’s cool and I can appreciate what it tried to do but it did still lack some things. Final plot twist was also a bit mehh imo, still cool and a fun experience tho.

Recently certified Brainy poofter who strokes his chin and pulls onions out of his arse all day here 🙋‍♂️

It’s so awesome to see how the movie builds itself around that one singular event
(the numbers flicking through at the start, on the dilapidated arcade wall, Cameron’s caravan number, the kids on the beach, the plastic bag, The 10th Number pub, “How many more of these questions have you got, eh, Kojak?”, dead bird on the floor in the insane asylum, possibly the numbers on the doors in the asylum, the girl holding the dead bird, the numbers on the hymn board, possibly Simon’s house number, obviously the photograph in Simon’s house, the gate to the forest being the same, the bottom of the felled tree looking like the bird (am I crazy?), “Nothing you’ll admit to, eh?”, obviously the reoccurring hooded guy (Kojak) in the background)
All roads lead back to childhood trauma, people

I also love the little glimpse of the hospital through the brothers room, the Space Odyssey-esque corridor, the above shot of someone screaming in the exact same pose all horror/zombie movies do, ‘silly bugger! Shotgun in the mouth, that’s the way to do it’, the nickname ‘Sunbeam’
