I imagine it was scarier on the night if you didn't bother to read the television listings.

If you liked that you should check out the similar but different themed Alternative 3 (some people still think that's real).

Totally agree on that, imagine in 1992 flipping through the channels and seeing what was basically "War of the Worlds - 1938" all over again.

I am obviously a skeptical now, at 25, don't believe in any of that, no supernatural, no metaphysics... And I do think the whole thing is pretty scary, well done, even if the acting is a little unconvincing at times... but in 1992 I was 4! I would've crapped my pants!

But then, again, I wasn't born in the UK, nor do I live in an english speaking country, and my parents would've had me in bed way before that.
