Back in December 1994, BBC2 devoted a Saturday evening to the bizarre, maddening and the macabre; screening a bunch of specially commissioned programmes and incredibly strange films long into the night, peppering proceedings with introductions from the likes of Roger Corman at a piano and the disembodied head of an animated baby. Running order: The Fortean Review of the Year, Strange Days: Coincidences, The Last American Freak Show, Strange Days: Visions, W.S.H.: The Myth of the Urban Myth, The X-Files: Fire, Strange Days: Beasts, Weird Thoughts, Martin, The Grandmother, X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes, Strange Holiday, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
