The technology used for that version is far behind what can be done now and we moved the real office a few years ago ago so this no longer matches. We didn't feel it worth the time and money to redo it, though, and have concentrated on more recent projects.


Before I get distracted by the link above (I loved the Office!) I will give my two cents worth - quite scary - it was a really good read - now I would like to see the short movie made about it with Tom Berenger.

Bump for Wednesday April 8th
How about Nightmare at 20,000 feet by Richard Matheson? I've never read it but I think this story was in the Twilight Zone movie.

It's also in Flight Or Fright
I noticed that the aircraft in the story is a DC 7 - cool!

Yes, fljoe0 suggested that for the next read. I was just posting a reminder./ by copying his post above.
Oh my gosh, my apologies Spidey. I had a few windows open moderating and I picked the name of a story from another thread, so I thought you had picked a completely different story! I totally read that wrong.

I forgot how creepy this one is. Starts out completely normal, run of the mill day. Then gradually the dread builds until whammo! I read it via the link, did not get out my book, but I had to stop and giggle a little when he had to dial in and give his credit card # for his satellite service. Sign of how the world has moved on since this was written!

I wonder if the yard sale lady knew what she was selling him? The little dream he had in the shower towards the end makes me think she did. All sales final.

I won't be buying any strange paintings at yard sales, that's for sure!

Need to reread the Matheson story and I will be caught up!
