Bear in mind that when the Face Clock was used, most of the people watching it were children, and it was the 1980s, so that means children who aren't already computer hackers! I think that it probably would have a harder time scaring today's children...

I personally would have injected some poor sap with a poison that gradually rotted away his skin, then disintegrated his bones, and filmed it all as a LF Clock. Sure, it's sick, horrific and illegal, but then I'm not a very nice guy. And it would be scary, eh?

It was probably a Commodore Amiga, the computer that they used for the rest of the graphics in the programme (I might have that wrong. Check on the site somewhere.)

A Commodore Amiga for a full-screen high-fidelity multi-coloured animation? In 1987?  :o

My theory is that each frame of the face was sketched, scanned into a super-computer, had false-colour processing applied to it, and played back frame-by-frame.

Hi there! I'm afraid there isn't a DVD quality life force clip anywhere (mainly because none of us have any DVD quality episodes!!!)

What about a lil Fairy flying away from a Hoggle armed with a spray gun, and as your life force depletes Hoggle catches up, and when you die he squirts the fairy and it flops on the floor!
