Would have been the best episode of
Dead of Night, probably, had Wayne and Andy cut it down to a single episode rather than two parts.

Andy Kumpon as the creepy "Golem." The idea was to capture a little of that '70s horror film vibe in which the imagery torments the eye just enough to, well, give one that creepy '70s horror film vibe.

Status (Wayne Spitzer) and A.K. (Andy Kumpon) approach the monolith via an old-fashioned "glass shot." The object and the episode were inspired by
Kronos (1957),
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and
"The Cage/The Menagerie" (Star Trek). Not bad aspirations for a zero-budget cable-access program.

The Golem (Andy Kumpon) tilts his head curiously at the people inside the RV.

A.K. (Andy Kumpon) lets loose a scream after discovering a human heart in his "Uncle's Little Box."

The Golem (Andy Kumpon) as viewed through the RV's rearview mirror. Again, the '70s influence of directors such as Dan Curtis (
Dark Shadows, Trilogy of Terror, Burnt Offerings) is evident.

Gratuitous image of Status (Wayne Spitzer) researching an inter-dimensional life form (Tammy Tobin). From the opening credits of
"A Taste for Terror," itself from the lost episode
"Metal," which Wayne and Andy may complete someday, for fun.

Since we're on a roll: Status (Wayne Spitzer) adds a ghostly girl (Cheryl Gline) to the VictorCorp database. If your inspiration is classic Trek, your heroes know those dimensions aren't going to explore themselves. From
Dead of Night: "Introductions" (1994). Image gallery forthcoming.
