    Perhaps the first time I was pertified by a film...

    I remember clearly the look on the face of the man who had seen the creature (the abominable snowman) and who had been left in th etent while the others searched further. He was already wide-eyed, but when the hair hand slowly appeared under the tent flap, those eyes widened even further....
