Teacher Lou Jennings returns to work after having the flu and no-one remembers her.

Not the students, not her fellow teachers. No-one.

They only know the substitute, Miss Sparrow.

And she doesn't plan on leaving.

This gave me serious Nightmare on Elm Street vibes. Ethan Hawke is an amazing villain.

I remember listening to this album for the first time when I was about 15 years old and thinking it was absolutely the coolest thing I’d ever heard in my life.

At 37, I still do.
