I have a first response, but it was sent to me as a DM. That's kind, but you can respond here. Sensing that, though, he/she/they asks I psst for them. I didn't know we had shy members! Anyway, here goes:

Rear Window, 1954. Alfred Hitchcock. A wheelchair-bound bullied tree-stabbing youth spies on his apartment complex's playground from his apartment window and becomes convinced one of the children has done a bit more than just commit a murder (or two).

The Twilight Zone. Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. Oct 1963. While growing up in the western suburbs, Oskar discovers at night a young girl directly outside his 2nd floor window, knocking. He tries to alert his mom and friend Tommy, but every time someone else looks out of the window, the girl hides herself, so Oskar's claim seems crazy.

Question 2: Complete the narration
JAL/LTROI, Eng. trans. by E. Segerberg, pg 70 wrote:"No, I never get any presents. Ever."
Oskar nodded stiffly. The world around him had ceased to exist. Only those two holes, a breath away. Their breaths mingled and rose, dissipated.
"Do you want to give me a present?"
"Yes."
His voice was not even a whisper. Only an exhalation. The girl's face was close. His gaze was drawn to her butter-knife cheek.
That was why he didn't see her eyes change, how they narrowed, took on another expression. He didn't see how her upper lip drew back and revealed a pair if small, dirty white fangs. He only saw her cheek and while her mouth was nearing his throat he drew up his hand and _____
Complete the moment. Wrong answers only.
