That was a good one and very hard. I didn't know there were that many cooling towers.

Ok then what would this be exactly.

The sequence was filmed in the cooling tower of Croydon power station. And man, it gave me gooseflesh.

Yes! That's why it was clicking in my mind. Brilliant movie but don't watch the made for TV happy ending version.

Also that would be one of the creepiest Halloween costumes ever.

Okay, I'll play. Is it a structure as in building?

And, I should add, my sig picture is from that movie. The Ministry of Information.

It is not a building.

I always wondered about that pic. Mine's from a Canadian TV show 'The Beachcombers'.

Wow, I've never even noticed they had a logo in the movie. Using it as your signature picture raises a question though: Whose side are you on?
