Old Film.

[LiverpoolLou]

Does anyone remember the name of this film.....I think it was a ghost story type. There is one particular part in it, it's dark and  you hear children singing in the street,  "All the girls come out to play the moon is shining bright as day" (think that's how it goes). As a kid I remember watching this and it frightened the life out of me. I think it was made in the 60's. Thanks.

Hi Lou, just re-read linda's link, excellent.  I agree about the films shown on tv.

Hi Dot,yes more good films please! Especially Bette Davis and of course John Wayne!

HI Linda & Dot, not everyone has cable t.v or sky which is where most of these are shown...I do have cable, but to be honest don't even look at what's on those channels most of the time. Not a lot of elderly people can afford cable or sky, with them being on a pension. I think ITV, BBC1 & BBC2, Channel 4 and 5 should start thinking about this. Bring back Tales Of The Unexpected, Armchair Thriller and some of the classic films that we have mentioned.

Yeh Lou,loved Tales of the unexpected! Everyone always remembers the one with Timothy West about the royal jelly and zzzzzz! The one I remember too,was an episode where a doctor is trying to save both mother and child in childbirth,and you're all worried. At the conclusion,doctor saves both of them,and then you learn that it was Hitler's mother who was giving birth! Classic!

The dark secret of harvest home - thats it - really spooky.  I remember as a teenager watching Tales of the Unexpected and being in the house by myself and afraid to move until my parents came home.

The programme that scared me as a kid was Whodunnit (I think that's what it was called). It was game show where a short play was acted out and a celebrity panel (I think) had to work out who the murderer was. I think John Pertwee presented it. It used to frighten me silly! Does anyone else remember it?
