Jane Alexander sewing up a sheet, looking forlorn, when you realize the sheet is her child’s burial shroud. Very Very Haunting.

The was a movie called “Countdown to Looking Glass”. Anyone else remember it? And, if you take a nuclear bombing instead of a nuclear war, the scariest movie of all is “Fail Safe” (IMHO of course). The sound of the scream of the phone gave me nightmares for a long time.
