Honestly, I don't think this effect could have been achieved in a book. You really need the visual aspect to drive it home and leave viewer speechless. My fellow locked room readers have no idea what they're missing out on.

Have you ever read, or seen, a locked room mystery in which the solution succeeded in actually being more creepy than the supernaturally-couched premise? Poe, Carr and Talbot would have been proud!
