BM> > stuff that were best left on the cutting room floor.

BM>Agreed.  AFAIC, the type of movie that moved the camera to the window
BM>and then faded out was the best presentation; you could substitute
BM>your on imagination and dispense with bad acting or actors getting it

One of the scariest movies I ever saw was a "Selected Short Subject" 
(remember those?) whose title is lost forever in the mists of my mind. 
The plot was tiger escapes from zoo. Kid is sent to store.

No actual violence was ever shown on screen. All of the action took 
place in a "typical" Middle-America, Middle-Class, whitebread kitchen. 
The stay at home mom was washing dishes while the radio broke into the 
"regular programming" with a bulletin about a man-eating tiger escaping 
from the local zoo.

A few notes - I saw this movie when I was 8 years old ... which would 
make it 1950. A time when "stay-at-home" moms were the norm, not the 
exception. And when AM radio still played music and the stations 
actually had NEWS departments. And when dishwashers were those things 
located at the ends of one's arms.   Bv)=

Anyway, the mother wants the daughter (seven or eight years old) to go 
to the grocery down the block (this is late 40s, remember - when 
neighbourhood grocers had not been supplanted by the stupidmarkups) for 
a quart of milk (another dating factor) and loaf of bread.

The girl, frightened by the news of the tiger, does not want to go. The 
mother insists - stating that the zoo is across town, miles away.

The girl reluctantly leaves the house - and we hear the latch lock as 
the door closes. 30 seconds later the daughter is beating frantically at 
the door, begging her mother to open the door before the tiger gets her.

The mother says, pleasantly, you have an active imagination (or 
something like that) now run on to the store ....

The girls screams piteously. We hear some thumps - and a dark stain 
(this is B&W - no red stain) begins to creep under the door.

I had nightmares for a week from that bad boy. Still remember it after 
all these years. I suspect it was made by Roald Dahl or one of his 
cronies - he was quite the master of the macabre.

DAVE! Bung in the recipe - you're creeping yourself out!!!!

      Title: Blackberry & Raspberry Gratin With Cointreau
 Categories: Five. Dessert, Fruits, Booze
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      2 lg Eggs; separated
      3 tb Sugar
      1 ts Cointreau
      8 oz Red raspberries
      8 oz Blackberries
 
  Raspberries and blackberries are the essence of early summer fruits
  and when gratinéed with a Cointreau-flavored sabayon, they are
  dressed up for a grand finale to a special dinner. Strawberries and
  blueberries also make a good combination, but any mixture of berries
  can be used. From Chronicle contributor Georgeanne Brennan.
  
  Preheat the broiler. Put the egg whites in a bowl and beat them with
  an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  
  In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, combine 2
  tablespoons of the sugar and the egg yolks. Beat with an electric
  mixer or whisk until frothy and thickened, about 10 minutes, scraping
  the sides of the pan occasionally with a rubber spatula. Remove from
  heat and stir in the Cointreau. Add a tablespoon of the yolk mixture
  to the egg whites, folding them together. Add the rest of the yolk
  mixture, folding it into the egg whites.
  
  Put the berries in a snug single layer in an 8- or 9-inch gratin dish
  and pour the egg mixture over them. Sprinkle with the remaining 1
  tablespoon sugar.
  
  Place under the broiler, about 4 inches from the heat source, and
  broil until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully.
  
  Serve hot or warm
  
  Serves 4
