Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1985)

It was a bad idea to remake the old "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", and showing these rehashes with the original classic intros and wrap-ups, but in a colourized form, somehow made it worse. This segment was about as enjoyable as the new show got to be, though; the story is close to foolproof, and, although this version is much less impressive than the version which played on "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" two decades earlier (and is very rushed, occupying as it does a severely reduced running time), it's good, ghoulish fun. For some reason, the people responsible for these new adaptations would keep monkeying around with the plotlines - as if the new bunch knew more about scary stories than Hitchcock did!
