>From Bohcoo:
I'm about to show my age -- because I can't, for the life of me, 
remember the name of the movie -- the one where the little blond girl 
gets sucked through her TV set into another (horrifying) dimension 
because the development company her father (Craig T. Nelson) worked 
for had built houses, including theirs, right on top of a graveyard 
and the initial residents were none-too-pleased about it. It is the 
movie where the little girl says, "They're he-e-e-e-ere."

Anyway. The mother (Jo Beth Williams, I think) and father call in an 
exorist -- a "little person" with that little girl voice and buggy 
eyes. She is quite an actress and has been in countless movies. She 
is exactly who I pictured when reading Umbridge. That actress can do 
sickingly-sweet-but-artificially nice like a champ. She would be 
perfect -- but, I don't think she is British.

Does anyone know that actress's name? And, what the heck, does anyone 
remember the name of the movie?

Thanks (sheepishly),
Bohcoo
