Wow, just wow
This is one of the very first sort of afterschool specials I saw as a kid, obviously a rerun because I was around 10 when I saw it so it was maybe 1984 when I saw it. It really freaked me out though. All I remember is this boy is talking with a girl, he pushes her innocently, in a frustrated manner, she falls backwards, cracks her head on a brick or something, and dies... he runs home, or bicycles home, tells his mom and she holes him up inside the walls of the house, and moves away, leaving him there.
A new family eventually moves into the house, one day he is looking through a pinhole in the wall, and gets spotted, whereby he freaks out, rushes through the wall, and the cops kill him or something...
That's all I remember of it, but it was very haunting, and very depressing.
I was also watching shows like Chiller Diller on weekends, The Incredible Doctor Phibes, Twilight Zone, and Night Gallery, so I was really interested in the macabre growing up.
This is the first time I thought about this special ina long time having found a link to it on a FAQ trivia site: http://www.alphalink.com.au/~gmemail/faq/index.html
Would be great to get those old shows back and see them again 20 years later, thirty years since they were released. Good stuff.
