    At the Battle of Balaklava Heights during the Crimean War an old Erol Flynn movie about the famous "Light Brigade" (you know, "into the valley of death rode the 600") created the impression that the brigade made its charge with such determination because among the troops in the Russian lines was a man with whom the brigade had a grudge from a previous engagement, and the goal of every man in the brigade was to find him and kill him. Is that actually true or is it just another movie myth?

    I've been watching horror flicks since I was 6, and at 24, this movie had me peeking around corners in my own apartment. I thought I'd seen it all, but this one has the single creepiest ghost I have ever seen. I had to be the first to make a quiz on it.
