For years, we thought the most frightening thing about William Shatner was his acting. Then, in 1978, an enthusiastic group of creators took a rubber mask molded in his likeness, mussed the hair, widened the eyes and painted it white.

Show me one movie where things work out wonderfully in a fallout shelter and I?ll show you Blast From the Past. Otherwise, Hollywood?s track record for happy ending fallout films is about as successful as the Brooklyn Brawler?s WWE career. Warner Bros.’ latest offering, Hidden, is no exception.

Shocking for the time, perhaps, but kinda fun. Fast forward to…

If done properly, in that sing-song, little-kid-nursery-rhyme-double-Dutch kind of way, that’s all you have to say and immediately, horror fans will know what you’re talking about. And grown men may shudder. Those words (and the remaining twenty-two that finish out the mythic urban-legendary poem) and a few wordless…
