Inspired by the 1972 Andes air crash and shot on location in Haslemere, Surrey, the Pete Walker directed Frightmare is an unrelentingly downbeat cannibal shocker that was a box-office flop when released in the winter of 1974 amid the IRA's Christmas bombing campaign in the Londons West End. The film was clearly way ahead of its time; Abel Ferrara's notorious The Driller Killer lay five years in the future, after all. Sheila Keith is outstanding as the terrifying Dorothy, and Rupert Davies is similarly excellent in a low-key role as her doting husband. Opening with a black-and-white flashback to February 1957, for a series of cannibal-killings a High Court judge assures Dorothy Yates (Sheila Keith) and her devoted husband Edmund (Rupert Davies) that under Section 65 they will remain in a mental hospital until it is unquestionable that they are fit to take their place back in society. Edmund and Dorothy are eventually released after 15 years in Lansdowne mental asylum and take up residence in a remote farmhouse. Edmund's daughter Jackie meanwhile lives in a flat in the city, where she tries to take care of her 15-year-old juvenile delinquent sister Debbie (Kim Butcher), visiting her parents only occasionally with parcels of animal offal to assuage her stepmother's cannibalistic cravings. But Jackie's new psychiatrist boyfriend Graham (Paul Greenwood) takes an interest and begins to suspect the truth. The truth is that Dorothy, far from cured, is drawing people to the farmhouse through classified ads in Time Out promising Tarot readings - and continuing her cannibalistic killings. Meanwhile, it becomes apparent that Dorothys own daughter, Debbie, has similar cannibalistic inclinations.

Andrew Hansen to me is very talented. His profession to play many instruments and write songs is amazing. Andrew first starred in Simon Target's film "Uni" with former Chaser Charles Firth. In the film it revealed Andrew was suffering from clinical depression. He wasn't a original Chaser, only joined in 2002 after The Chaser Decides 2001 when The Chasers asked him to join because he was the only one who had musical talent. Andrew debut in CNNNN.(Chaser Non-Stop News Network) later in The Chaser's War On Everything, Andrew has given us memorable songs including: "The Filler Song", "The Credits Songs" and many others. He also has the pleasure working with the forever not gonna grow up Chaser Chas Licciardello in What Have We Learned From A Current Affairs This Week. Andrew will always be known as The Chaser with the most unbelievable hair-styles and the good-looking one.

Chas Licciardello is a Italian-Australian who doesn't quite seem to act his age but still makes him the most funniest Chaser. He is my favourite Chaser. From the APEC Stunt to French-kissing Rove McManus on Rove, Chas is the one who is bubbly and most out-going. People and anti-Chaser groups have called on The Chasers to grow up espically Chas. I can tell you for a fact that is not going to happen. I can't say which stunt/sketch I find funniest with Chas because they are all funny. Chas is also known for frequently showing his buttocks on tv which doesn't seem to worry him. That'll be Chas!

Craig Reucassel is different from his fellow Chasers. He is the only one to be born overseas, publically educated and raised in another state.
Craig has worked along with co-Chaser Chris Taylor in radio including: "Today Today, B*oody Sunday and The Race Race". In "CNNNN" and "The Chaser's War On Everything" he introduces the show along with Chris.
He has contributed great left-ideas such as: "Trojan Horse" and "Blind Taxi Driver". Craig also presents "In Other News" with Julian "The Fixers" with Julian and many others. Craig is seemed to be more of the political one in the group as he is the one who really kind of comes out with political jokes.
To top it all of Craig is just fantastic as a "Chaser" and always will be.
