Can anyone explain...?
So I've been looking for this series on video, DVD, anything for the last 10yrs. I first saw Triffids when I was 8yrs old on the BBC and it has haunted me ever since. Finally after years of trying to track down the original BBC version, I found it in 2005 on DVD in a local store.
I rushed home and finally started to watch what I'd waited so long to see. Trouble is - it wasn't as scary or haunting as I remember. In fact is was rather clunky and poorly acted. But then, out of nowhere, came the most frightening thing I have ever had happen to me...
During one of the scenes (where Bill is taken to a hotel in a minibus with a group of blind people to look after) the scenery started to look very familiar. Then I recognised it, the scene was filmed on my street.
The minibus with Bill and the blind people then pulls up to the hotel. And guess what? The hotel is my house! The shot freezes on my bedroom window - the very room where I'm watching the DVD, 24yrs after it was filmed.
I did some research. My apartment is in an old building that did indeed used to be a hotel. I moved in 5yrs ago. I've been searching for Day of the Triffids for over 10yrs. Then when I find it, and watch it, I see the room I am watching it in appear on the screen. So I must have seen my future home when I first saw the series back in 1982. What does it all mean? Any ideas? Is it the end of the world?
