[QUOTE="Ravenwind, post: 6745601, member: 6785772"] Well, I tried this question out on the DragonCon SciFi Classics Track Facebook page, and got no results. I tried my best Google-fu on it, too. I might as well try it on the collective knowledge, wit, and wisdom of EN World's off-topic folks. (That's you. Yes, you, at the back, looking around.) I had a flash of an old movie come to mind; I know I watched it in the 80s, as a kid, with my mom. (I checked to see if she remembered it; she says it sounds familiar, but can't place it or put a title to it. It's only been thirty years, give or take.) In it, an entire town has been more or less wiped out. Everyone is still sitting exactly where they were when "it" happened--in cars, at television sets, in houses, on porch swings. None of them are moving, and it's quite obvious that it's because of a [I]sound[/I]--being played over loudspeakers, on radios, on TVs--and they're [I]probably[/I] dead. A single investigative agent arrives to find out why this town has gone quiet, and starts to walk around, looking at all of them. And, if my memory is correct, he doubles over, grabbing at his ears at one point. Mind you, this was done in the era of [I]The Andromeda Strain[/I] and [I]The Day After[/I] and all the dozens of other films that suggested that the government/aliens/Russians were out to get us. Sound familiar to anyone? I'm at a loss. [Memory was triggered by reading an article on "The Hum" on LiveScience a week or so ago. I'd really like to know if my mind is making this movie up, or if it's a real thing. So I can tell myself for the rest of this week--dang, it's already Friday--that I'm not insane.] :) [/QUOTE]
