Video: Disturbing Diff'rent Strokes

Someone has added some new theme music to the Diff'rent Strokes opening, and even he admits, "This has turned out far more creepy than I thought it would." Aside from the new music, the video is unedited except for some color hue alterations.

Shudder! This is just like when that creepy man taped up Arnold. To lighten things up, did you know the building that was filmed in the opening credits is located at the corner of Park Avenue and 79th Street? Though it was only pictured in the first season because they never got permission to use it. [via Kottke]

Oh does this rule. Anyone recognize the music?

I thin maybe music is from THE SENTINEL????

First things that come to mind:

Wolfen, The Shining, Taxi Driver, and Candyman.

I almost expect Chris Hansen to jump out of the shadows and accost Conrad Bain.

This just demonstrates perfectly how important the musical score is to the mood and feeling of a film.

I'm wit you fully. Some Film makers are clueless as to how get you in it.
Does he touch those boyz or what? Not good

Hansen: Please put your pants on.

Bain: I just thought he needed a mentor.

Hansen: Is that why you drove six hours from Orlando Florida? I have a transcript here of your discussion in the chatroom....

I see a need for a website where you can play your home videos (grandma's birthday, fishing trip, painting the house) with the same score.
