    It definitely sounds like the basis for an Outer Limits episode.

      I keep seeing actors in films which I know for a fact were released long after the actors had died.

      I've seen Eli Wallach in two or three films first released in 2009 or 2010, and I recall several years ago seeing a news item that he had popped off.

      Also I think Quentin Crisp (the Naked Civil Servant guy) appeared in a couple of films released five or more years after he died.

        I'm pretty sure Eli Wallach is still alive. Not sure about the other bloke.

            The people recorded in the 1950s for the laughter track used on US sitcoms must almost all be dead by now.
            My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

              If ghosts exist and can move stuff around, it's not beyond the realms of possibility to imagine them being keyboard savvy and logging onto social networking sites like CUK and trying to join in the banter. I wonder how many of our members are actually speaking from beyond the grave or if indeed we are all really dead but don't know it like some 70s TV play where they all arrive at a hotel for the weekend and it gradually dawns on them.

              Any dead CUKers care to fess up?

                  DOH! Yes, you're right. I was thinking of the other guy in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", Lee Van Cleef. And according to IMDB he died in 1989.

                  Quentin Crisp died about 5 years ago, aged 90.

                    Ever wondered if there might be Time Travelers on CUK ?
