While I was looking for the audio information about “The Rocking Horse Winner” as performed by John Shea on “Selected Shorts” (post), I came across a British short film of the story. I watched the first several seconds of the introduction and then I saw this title card.

I can only imagine how many kids had this title card scare the bejesus out of them, as Thames’ “Chocky” introduction scared me near senseless. How wonderful to frighten children.
