Hammer House of Horror - The Two Faces of Evil. Yup. That's the proper scary one to this day...Interesting that the wife/mother is the wife of David Burke (Watson #1 to Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes) and mother of Tom Burke (M.R James Number 13, BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas).
My Brother gave me a yellow waterproof mac that he said was just like Lis Sladen's in The Sontaran Experiment, which I keep in the boot of one of the Jags, in case of emergency, but to me, it is always associated with this tale (shivers)..
N.B. I also used to teach a boy who was the absolute double of the son in the story. I avoided telling his mother at parents evenings that 'interesting fact'.....
He didn't have a toy aeroplane too did he (I think it was a toy plane in the show)? I didn't know that about other cast members, so thanks - but what a performance from 'dad'. Utterly chilling!
Thinking about it, I suppose my first movie was actually 'The Omen', which I watched with family at a young age because they were fans of Gregory Peck. Scares abound. It wasn't the fate of Pat Troughton, David Warner or even Lee Remick that *really* unnerved me. It was that reduced, sunken, shrivelled monk character whose name I forget currently. His scenes were my earliest, scariest movie memories.
He was also in Jason and the Argonauts (pitched against the giant statue, funnily enough), but is most notable for starring opposite Richard Burton, Claire Bloom & Mary Ure in Don't Look Back in Anger. One for Oasis fans..
