No! From IMDB trivia: The telephone mouthpieces in the newsroom are missing because there was a general belief that these candlestick phone mouthpieces were a source of tuberculosis germs. Bensinger is the only character who has his own mouthpiece that he guards from everyone else using. The glass mouthpiece he uses was considered to be less prone to germs. There may have been a vaccine but that doesn't mean everyone was vaccinated. I myself had the mumps about 3 years after that particular episode originally aired. Yes, they still use students as crossing guards. Yes but you needed a tourist visa as well as a passport. That is true. My grandmother, who never smoked and very rarely drank, always looked younger than her age. Even in her 90's she could pass for someone in their 70's! Burnt Offerings for sure. Hopefully new furniture. No, I think I'll wait til Jack goes in there and then I'll ask him. 48. Trees still have leaves and the weather is warm in Amityville in December. (The time of year the alleged true story happened) 49. Babysitters get locked in closets even though the door has no working lock. 50. If your front door breaks off from its hinges and your basement door gets damaged, don't worry, it's probably just burglars trying to break out. Yes I would have, pets are family too. Maybe the woman in room 237 stole it all. Maybe Grady brought it along with him when he and his family went to work at the Overlook for the winter. The reasons for bringing it could include protection from animals, trespassers or maybe he likes to hunt wild game. That's my guess. No, no you are not the only one. With hedge clippers. Good riddance. 1983. Same here. Yes they did but they were located at a bank (for after hours banking), not usually found at a hotel, gas station, etc. like they are today.
