Mine are actually tv schlock horror pieces, that left a big impression on me as a kid. There's three: 1. "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" (thank God I wasn't alone when I saw it; I was under a tent with my cousin Linda in my livingroom). 2. "Trilogy of Terror," with Karen Black. This has to take, hands down, the award for being the scariest, craziest most out of control bizarro narrative out there. Yeesh. My skin crawls thinking about it....
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
