Sunday, 7pm on bbc4. Old School Day of the Triffids. The first 2 episodes this week.

I remember that one. Scary in its day to see terrifying plants wandering around killing people.. I'm looking forward to the Torchwood special next week. Hopefully someone will see fit to park a bus between that gap in the female leads teeth!

Haha, looking at this thread I went to go watch Eye of the Beholder. Scared the shit out of me when i was like 7 and had nightmares for around 2weeks LOL. Such a good episode of Twilight Zone

Looking forward to it? I thought it was a load of shite! I don;t like Ruddel Davis as a writer. Fair play for reviving the franchise and all that, but I can't get on with it.

You are right about wotserface though. I saw her in Sainsbury's in Cardiff and it's an even bigger gap up close in the flesh!

LMAO not someone you'd want going near your manhood!

Best all time scary movie from old has been Salems Lot. Not the shortened version.. the full 2 parter. Had some great moments in it.

Actually might watch this myself.

to be honest, I've always thought it to be pretty poor, but I like the idea of a weeklong miniseries!

The tap on the window was just pure haunting genius and it's getting an airing on Sky somewhere (I think scifi Stephen King week) the full 2 parter.

It's slightly worrying that I can't remember reading any of this topic...I'll have to check out this series. Still, isn't there a new film coming out soon?

Way to go revive an old thread...

Did anyone watch the new version of Day of the Triffids? Overall I wasn't very impressed with the new offering, it was a mish-mosh of ideas from the book thrown together with plenty of new strange ideas added (i.e. the convent, his father?!). A couple of bits were generally good, but altogether after looking forwards to this for ages, it was quite dissapointing. Any thoughts anyone else?
