How do I get the radio program, "Coast to Coast"?
I first saw this movie when I was nine, and became somewhat obsessed with it. There are a lot of "little people" in folklore and even in modern-day U.F.0-logy, all of which seem to suggest physical beings but with hyperdimensional abilities -- that is to say they can get in and out of places through portals and doorways which just don't exist to us -- and have quick access to other places where they sometimes abduct people and take them to. I never thought Aliens were from space -- but (if they exist) hidden places on earth.
Since this movie was made, there have been several movies that deal with more physical entities sometimes with a comical bent: gremlins, ghoulies, critters, to name a few. It is also possible that, lost in the fossil record, are other homonid creatures, monkeys and worse beings, that were vaguely humanlike. Sometimes I like to think of the "little people" (the hideous, menacing ones) as belonging to a prior race that was driven underground or banished from the world, drastically reduced in number, which still may turn up from time to time. If they really exist, they are probably demons or nephilem, but I like to think of them as horrid, goblinoid, anthropoid things with interdimensional abilities. I don't really believe in them, but I am thankful to sometimes be scared of them nonetheless.

Interesting theories! Coast to Coast is available on overnight radio, many AM stations, usually from about 1 A.M. to 5 A.M. Monday through Sunday...probably can be downloaded as podcasts also.

I recall with much fondness those movies of the week. I'm old enough to remember seeing Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark when it was first shown. I recall I liked it.
I also remember Daughter Of The Mind.
There was a good series too called The Sixth Sense, which starred Gary Collins.
There is a sort of resurgence of interest in the paranormal on TV too. With programs like Ghost Hunters on Sci-Fi network and Most Haunted Places, etc, on The Travel Channel.

The problem (in my opinion) with so many of the modern paranormal programs is they have too much of a motive.
For instance, the ghost has unfinished business. Or, sheer human willpower can defeat the demons.
Maybe. But what makes things so nightmarish or at least 'freaky' is the pointless randomness of it all. Does there really have to be a 'reason' that there are skull-like heads floating around my bed? Does it have to always be an Indian Burial ground, or other explanation? If things are rapping on my walls, or if I see strange things reflected in windows, or a menacing 19th century man in a suit and broad brimmed hat and a pale face appears in corners seen in other rooms (rooms adjacent to the one I'm in), does that necessarily mean he or they 'want' something? Some past deed undone?
If my bedroom mirror looks cracked or shattered or bleeds when the moon is full and I can touch the blood until the light is turned on, does there have to always be some crappy 'explanation'?
What if the psychic, for instance, merely recomended rearranging the furniture, or just one object, and for whatevr reason, the little darklings were no longer able to have access to the house? Or, what if, for once, the hauntings just went away on their own after a few weeks?
Too much explanation ain';t scary.

Pay attention to your nightmares. They usually don't make sense.
All would be more horrifying in real life if reality as we knew it was blurred somewhere. It wouldn't be meaningless delusion; it would mean that the universe is maybe not all there, maybe not as we imagine it, or that other realities can supercede our own.
The Whitney Striebler books about aliens were so damn good and scary when he recounted a childhood of nighttime alien abductions, watching him, paralyzing and abducting him, examining his private areas (genitals, anus) and communicating with him telepathically messages that caused him great feelings of doom and dispair, and showed him meaningless images about the end of the earth and other thoughts of hopelessness and pessimism.
It was all so meaningless -- and scary.
Then, later, he wrote books about aliens being our cosmic friends and brothers.
I wish he'd left it like in the earlier books.
