| Yes, Biplane. In Darabont's version, "Bring on the Hound!"
Doe anyone think there is a Baskerville metaphor that may be riding along with this mechanical octopedian canine? |

| fj--Every spring I teach "Hound..." to my seventh grade lit classes, and I have to say I can see absolutely no parallels. You've really got me thinking about it though, so if anything comes to me, I'll pop in again. P.S. They love the novel, and usually vote on it as their favorite class novel of the year. They especially like it when the evil Hugo gets his throat ripped out by the hound that is described as "luminous, ghastly and spectral." (Seventh graders can be soooo bloodthirsty! But, looking for any possible angle to hook them into reading, I capitalize on this. They are usually disappointed that no one else in the novel gets shredded in this way, but by the end, they are really enjoying the novel anyway.) P.P.S. Speaking of bloodthirsty--I caught a student today with a pocketknife. He most likely will be expelled. Teaching sure has changed!

| Civil War soldiers fond of hollering, "Mister, here's your mule!" can't have imagined this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGrMMlNjBB8Can the mechanical hound be far behind? And would even it run if it saw this creepy thing coming? |
