[pruple]Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Bingley, I know the source for this and I just can't place it...it's definitely science fiction, alien related I think, and I'm thinkin' The X-Files here. The only citation I can find that attaches it to a movie quote is for the film Addams Family Values, but I doubt that was the origin. And it seems there was an earlier form of the phrase, Don't be afraid...be very afraid., which gestated into the more familiar one (and popular, I might add, almost 3 million hits on Google, used for book titles and all!) Curious the origin is so evasive...and if we can't find the source that planted this phrase then all I can suggest is: Be afraid. Be very afraid.
