talking of odd stories....
I saw a short film once or twice, years ago, on Channel 4 in the UK.
the story started when a chap went into a 'phone box to, I think, answer the ringing phone. while answering, he let the door swing shut. When there was no one on the phone, he hung up, and only then did he realise that the door was jammed shut.
At first his attempts to get out were pretty funny, with various passer-bys trying, and failing to help. Slowly tho, his frustration turned to fear as escape proved impossible.
Eventually a telephone maintainence crew turned up, but rather than open the door, they loaded the whole phone box onto the back of their truck, and drove off. various scenes followed, with our hero getting more and more panicky, and people who saw him waving( for help) and thinking it was a joke.
the first sign of something seriously wrong, was out on the open road, miles out of the town, they pull up at some traffic lights, and alongside them is another truck, with another phone box, with another person inside it. this person is just as scared.
Shortly afterwards, the truck enters a tunnel (the victim, for that is what he has suddenly become, is now sh1tting himself) and after driving someway into the tunnel, veers off, and then enters a gigantic underground storage facility, stacked from floor to ceiling as far as you can see, with identical phone boxes, each containing a person. Some alive, some dead, and some in various stages of decomposition.
THE END.
Scared the crap otta me. Kept my foot in the door of any phoneboxes I used after that. I tell you!
cant remember the name of it. I think it was french or italian or possibly spanish.....
