Horror movie made through classified section
By DENNIS GEORGATOS
Associated Press Writer
SAN DIEGO A psychiatrist cast in the
unfamiliar role of horror movie producer
wanted some advice on what scares young
people, so he went straight to the source
with newspaper ads asking for help.
The result is the movie "One Dark Night," a
film . about a "school wimp" who takes a dare
to spend the night in a mausoleuffi and ends up
being kept company by living corpses with
glittering eyes and coffins popping out of
walls.
About 100 young people between the ages of
12 and 25 responded to the ads in San Diego
newspapers last September and helped in the
film's production by offering their comments,
criticisms and suggestions throughout the
moviemaking process.
"Basically, this is their film," said psychia

Police raids:

Associated Press Writer
MOSCOW Police and Commu
nist Pariy officials have started
raiding bars, barber shops, restau
rants and stores, searching for
people who slip away from their
jobs during working hours, Soviet
sources said.
The raids apparently are part of
new party chief Yuri V. Andropov's
campaign to strengthen the ailing
Soviet economy by improving
worker productivity.
State newspapers acknowledge
the high absenteeism. But they say
one reason for it is that workers are
forced to go shopping during office
hours if they want to obtain nec
essary but scarce consumer goods
and services.
One Soviet source reported see-
Arafat to quickly "negotiate and
come to conclusions" on the plan
Reagan proposed last Sept. 1. It
calls for Palestinian self-rule in
association with Jordan for the Is
raeli occupied territories of the
West Bank of the Jordan River and
Gaza Strip.
"The Israelis are building at a
very quick tempo so many set
tlements in the West Bank and
Gaza," Mubarak said in an office at
the Uruba palace.
"If we are going to lose another
year with just delivering
statements without any activity so
as to put the Reagan initiative into
action, it will be a big loss and the
problem will be more difficult to
solve."
The Israelis oppose the Reagan
plan, saying it would lead to a
hostile Palestinian state and threat
en Israeli security. They also reject
a portion of the plan calling for an
immediate freeze on Jewish set
tlements in the territories Israel
captured in the 1967 Middle East
War.
Most Arab states reject the plan
because it calls for a Palestinian
association with Jordan rather than
an independent state. Egypt, the

Johnson said he solicited their thoughts
because "I wanted their feedback, with the
potential advantage being that we would be in
closer touch with the grassroots ticket buyer.
"Some people feel that people in Hollywood
start making movies for each other and lose
touch with the public and what the non-Holly
wood people would like to see on the screen,"
he said.
Having the young people help select the
script, make plot changes and vote on ver
sions they liked best had never been tried
before on such a large scale, Johnson said,
and the experience to the participants was
likely a positive one.
"They are at a very critical stage of devel
opment," Johnson said. "Many of them feel
that this is an adults' world and adults don't

line subject to negotiation.
Mubarak said "it will be very
difficult for Reagan to implement
his initiative" once the ,campaign
for the 1984 U.S. presidential elec
tion begins.
"So I am urging those who are
looking for a comprehensive set
tlement, those who want peace in
this area, the factions concerned, to
make the best use of this specific
period of time so as to negotiate and
to come to conclusions maximum
within six months or one year," he
said.
Hussein and Arafat met yester
day in the Jordanian capital, Am
man, to discuss a formula for joint
Jordanian-PLO representation in
possible peace talks with the Israe
lis. Details of their discussions were
not disclosed.
Hussein met with Reagan in
Washington last month but returned
home without committing himself
to Reagan's plan. Arafat's PLO has
steadfastly rejected the plan, say
ing it fails to provide for Palestinian
statehood.

shifts. One man was asked where
he was going while he should be at
work and responded "to visit a
friend."
In his first major speech after
succeeding the late President Leo
nid I. Brezhnev as party leader,
Andropov vowed to reduce waste
and corruption in the sprawling
country.
"Apparently the strength of iner
tia and adherence to old ways are
still at work. Moreover, some peo
ple, perhaps, just do not know how
to set about doing the job," Andro
pov said Nov. 22. '
His crackdown on absenteeism
has been joined by a simultaneous
press campaign urging shops to

for workers to run errands after
work hours.

During the interview, 'Mubarak
reaffirmed his commitment to
peace with Israel despite its June 6
invasion of Lebanon to rout the
PLO, the Israeli annexation of Arab
east Jerusalem and Israeli refusal
to grant autonomy to the 1.3 million
Palestinians living on the West

"Peace, a comprehensive peace
in this area, is very important,"
Mubarak said. "Not only to the
Arabs alone but also to the Israelis

Asked whether he believed Israeli
Prime Minister Menachem Begin

The movie was shot in Hollywood, and was
produced by Michael Schroeder and directed
by Tom McLoughlin. McLoughlin co-wrote the
script with Michael Hawes.
It opened last week at 300 theaters in Los
Angeles, San Diego and other Western cities.
"I liked it, but I expected it to be more
scary," said Julie Phillip, 22, a student at
Mesa College who contributed suggestions to
the movie. -
"I would recommend it to my friends. It has
good suspense," she said after seeing the
finished product Friday. "It's pretty creative.
And it was nice to be part of the moviemaking
process, even if it was a small part."

"In the past half year alone in
dustrial enterprises in the republic
have lost 35,770 man-days because
of absence from work with the

said.
It quoted textile worker L. Sotni

bad in Ashkabad, the Turkmenian
capital, that she could not get a
haircut "because the beauty parlor
is only open until 7 p.m. and when

The moviemakers didn't use all the sugges

some pretty macabre situations, Johnson said
he was surprised that the consensus was for a
non-violent ending which the studio vetoed.
"It just goes to show you that young people
don't need to see a chainsaw hacking someone

movie thriller," he said.
The young people who participated in the
novel arrangement were not compensated for

about that, but we had to follow traditional
Hollywood protocol," Johnson said.

consumer goods in chronic short

from his colleagues. Bosses look
the other way, understanding that
there is no other way to obtain

of the capital's Communist Party
organization, said yesterday it had
sent a team of investigative report

The paper said the team found
that most stores could not provide

Fla. man finds
a 'hot piece'
waiting in bed
FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla.
(AP) When a big hunk of metal
crashed through the roof and into
his bed, Bill Peebles thought he
might have his very own souvenir
from a falling Soviet satellite.
An investigation, however, es
tablished that the unidentified fly
ing object had not comp from a
Sputnik or even from a fighter at
nearby Eglin Air Force Base, but
from a Chevy Camaro six doors
down the street.
Richard Hammerschmidt, an
18-year-old high school graduate,
said he was preparing to take his
just-tuned red car for a test drive
Friday when the motor "just blew
in a heartbeat."
"I pushed or revved a couple of
times," Hammerschmidt said. "It
exploded. Went through the hood."
'Launched into the air was a 6-
by-8-inch chunk of alloy weighing 5
to 10 pounds. It had been part of
the car's flywheel.
More than 250 yards away, the
rocketing fragment smashed a 6-
inch hole in Peebles' shingle roof.
Peebles, who was out to dinner,
said the first thing he noticed after
returning home was a piece of
ceiling tile on the bedroom floor.
Then he found the metal, still
warm, lying on the bed.
Peebles said he thought it was a
piece from a Soviet military satel
lite that scientists say is falling to
Earth. Then he saw an American
style serial number and thought it
had come from a plane.
Eglin security officers went to
the house and checked the hunk
and said it didn't come from a
military plane, police officer Skip
Gatwood said.
But on Saturday morning, Ham
merschmidt telephoned pOlice.
"My mother had seen the news
paper and she told me what had
happened," he said.
