Hi Don
Love the idea about a Letterboxing story ..
You suggest a tale of a serial killer and a remote location variant using
a Letterboxing twist and I suggest why not locate it in the home of
Letterboxing ..Dartmoor ?...and maybe a gothic horror (Elm Street type)
setting ...and of course you must have a good detective to solve it ?
It's been done !
It's called "Hound of The Baskervilles"
The author is Arthur Conan Doyle
The detective is Sherlock Holmes.
Nothing is that new Don !
"A C D" was a letterboxer you see, he had the same idea...
But it is remake season at the movies ..so why not go for it ?
Jurasic Park 3, Crocodile Dundee 3, Planet of the Apes (er 27?) so why not
Hound of The Baskervilles 2002 ?
Happy Letterboxing
Graham Howard
The Moorland Wizard
PS I hear they are making Titanic II ..that really spooks me ..Will this
one arrive then ?
Ooops no, they already did that in Ghostbusters ...Oh dear, do I spend too
much time at the movies
PPS...Some Letterboxing Film titles
The Rock
The Trail of "The Lonesome Pine Letterbox"
The 39 Steps
Clueless in Seatle
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Letterboxer
Eight and a half (Well we almost found that last one !)
Garden Fete (F8 !)
Farenheit 451 degrees
Message in a Bottle
or perhaps my favourite...with cryptic clues !
Mission Impossible (!)
