A Funny Story

The first version I ever saw of ATTWN/Ten Little Indians was the '65 black and white version -- I was eight. Even though the '65 version can be seen as a bit hokey as an adult, as a kid it was enough to scare the wits out of me. I went to bed afterward and pulled the covers over my head, as I usually did after viewing a "scary movie." I had a little wind-up musical bear that I slept with, and I clutched it tightly. That was enough to set off the music box inside and it started to play its song -- Ten Little Indians ("one, little, two little, three little Indians. . .") I felt sure that was a bad omen from some supernatural force and was all the more terrified!

Reminds me of a fan video (based on the HUNGER GAMES) where a demented character sings "ten little, nine little, eight little tributes" whenever a character is killed off. Curiously both stories have the chilling "elimination game -- for real" plot.

My grandmother´s house was used for tv films a couple of times and one time it was the set for a murder mystery and the victim was murdered in the bathroom. My little cousins stayed there when it aired and they watched it together. When they went to bed they couldn´t sleep because the room they stayed in was right next to the bathroom where the "murder" happened.

A few years ago one police drama had a wierd episode about amateur filmmakers who would break into houses just to film scenes for their experimental porn movie. When the police show the confiscated film to the various house-owners, one couple cracks up at the bizarre things supposedly happening in their own house.

Can't remember the name of the show, but Amber Tamblyn was playing a police detective.
