I'm not a HUGE Stephen King fan, but I did enjoy spotting references to previous (and future) films. I caught the Creepshow reference (Upson Pratt's jukebox). But I missed The Children Of The Corn, Firestarter, The Shining, and Carrie references. Are they in the film? Is the speeding ground-level monster's point-of- view at the start of the third segment, the reference to The Shining? Also, these two obscure elements in Cat's Eye have me puzzled: --> 1939. Is this Stephen King's birth year? This number appears in two signs: "St Stephen's School For Exceptional Children -- Founded February 1939", and "Animal Shelter -- Founded 1939". What's with 1939? --> "The girl, the gold watch, and everything." Did Robert Hays star in that TV movie? Is that screenplay (mind you, the concept of a watch doing time-slicing is as old as Twilight Zone and Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea) ghostwritten by Stephen King? -- Don Gworek
