I used to always laugh at his attempt at a spooky sign-off - "I'll see you... in the future.".

I mean really, nothin spooky about that, now if you see me in the past... THAT's spooky. Still, it was sufficiently memorable that I still use the line occasionally.

I love sitting in a dark room with all the curtains closed and watching horror movies such as 'Signs'. I don't exactly know why, but I just love that thrill and adrenaline pumped through. I wish I had grown up the smae time as you, GC, I would have LOVED that show; I'm all for the supernatural ;) -Rose

As for the death of 'spooky telly', unfortunately, as science has had to take on a siege mentality against a tide of religious nutbaggery, demanding we treat magical bible stories as 'science', it's also had to adopt a kind of zero tolerance.
Where once, a scientifically-minded nerd could entertain thoughts of ghosties, ghoulies, and stretchy, liver-eating blokes without peril, we're now being increasingly polarized into the Richard Dawkins' 'hard atheism' camp or the 'elves and moondust wish fulfillment' camp of the intelligent design loonies.

Unfortunately, the longer shows like that go on, the more they go through the good stuff and the more they have to dip into the 'slush pile' to fill the time.
I do recommend the show's spiritual predecessor, which scared the piss out of me in the 1970's, 'In Search Of...' hosted by Leonard Nimoy.

Back in the fifties and sixties people would talk of being visited by angels, but then as the years went by angels sightings dropped off and were replaced with ghost sightings. Then in eighties the transition moved from ghosts to aliens.

I think it's brilliant that now-a-days people have seen enough episodes of Mythbusters that these are dropping off as well but there's something wonderful about being 13 and scaring yourself half to death.

My brothers and I used to do so with the Twilight zone and WereWolf. The twilight zone music still makes me terrified to look over my shoulder.

It was 1994, I was living in Murgon (which you would think provided more than enough ammunition for many nightmares already) with my grandparents, and I stayed up when I wasn't supposed to to watch this episode of The Extraordinary. And I hated myself for it. That creepy voice and Cadillac burnt itself into my brain, and it gave me nightmares for weeks. Convinced I was being punished for breaking a rule, I was even MORE of a goody two shoes than I already was for...well, the rest of my life, so far.

This was only the precursor to Warwick Moss' greatest role - flogging shit on that Ten infomercial lifestyle show with Sarah McLeod's sister and that northern Irish chef who used to say 'THAT'S THE DOG'S BOLLOCKS' in an apparently affirmatory way.
