Yep.<br /><br />I've actually seen the Thing From Another World. It made me think about the line between science and madness....<br /><br />Two different styles (referring to the trailers) but both effective.<br /><br />Thanks for the advice!The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-24717042525290999472010-09-26T13:09:44.543-05:002010-09-26T13:09:44.543-05:00SH : You're right.

Reading my work aloud helps me hear where I've missed a stroke in the mood I'm trying to evoke.<br /><br />Wendy : Yes, the John Carpenter version is indeed the chillier and more isolating. But I saw the original in a late night classic horror marathon with 5 friends -- and the crisis, while dividing some, bound more of the people together.<br /><br />Walter : You saw my supervisor. That's where he goes to terrorize total strangers instead of his department.<br /><br />Ellis : Thanks for the praise. As high school teens all too sadly find out : will against will can be vicious.<br /><br />L. Diane : Yes, dare to be cute : flubs in the dialogue flow. It made me smile to write the words. Glad you enjoyed them. Have a great Sunday.Roland D.
