Yoz Grahame's Cheerleader: Phone boxes of doom

December 11, 2003

Phone boxes of doom

Via r0d, this short, cool, geeky and scary comic strip set in a phone box that's been, apparently randomly, encased in concrete with our hero trapped inside.

Phone boxes (or phone booths, to you Americans) make quite a rich seam for short stories, usually focusing on a combination of claustrophobia and random, sudden communication (protagonist hears a public phone ringing, answers it, and...) thus feeding a prime motivator of terror: it could happen to anyone - including YOU!

A few other examples:

The most recent and obvious (it's not a bad little movie, and it makes a nice change when one can refer to a Joel Schumacher production as "little", though those suffering from Colin Farrell overload may wish to avoid)
Stranger, a cute (if predictable) amateur short
Bizarre Japanese randomness involving baseball bats
The grandaddy of phone box shorts: La Cabina, which everyone seems to have seen yet no one can remember its title (including Sean, who keeps banging on about it)
And though this is neither fictional nor a film, let's not ignore the incredible phone box cam.
Update: Tom Armitage referred me to The President's Analyst, which has a phone box scene that's very similar to the one in La Cabina, predating it by five years. Apparently it's a wonderfully surreal and funny film.

Can't remember if I've seen it before, but I am now *enormously* satisfied at having achieved a maximum score in it and finishing the game without dying.

Ha.

Nice on Yoz!

I saw La Cabina a long time ago but could never remeber its name - I was starting to think I'd halucinated the whole thing :-D

Thanks so very much for taking your time to create this very useful and informative site. I have learned a lot from your site. Thanks!! I think you have done an excellent job with your site. I will return in the nearfuture.You're never alone when you're online. There's always someone out there that feels the way you do, whether you're depressed or happy, confused or proud. If I were to stumble across someone's journal where they express feeling exactly the same way I do at the moment, I might drop them a line to tell them they're not alone. If they write about feeling terrible about a problem that I have dealt with in the past I might offer words of encouragement. And if they write about how ecstatic they are because of something great that's happening in their lives I'll congratulate them.
