      When Trudy is "shot", the arrow hits the grade book she's holding. Some thought they saw blood where there should be none, but that is the red tail of the arrow.
    • Quotes

      Miss Banks: That was Mrs. Tingle. She's sick with the flu. She sounded really bad.

      Principal Potter: She hasn't been sick since - in fact, I don't think she's ever been sick.

      Miss Banks: Do you think it's serious?

      Principal Potter: God, I hope so.

      [Both chuckle]

    An OK movie with a great performance by Helen Mirren
    I will have to disagree with many comments on this movie saying that it was only a bomb. I thought this movie was quite interesting, surely not a great one, but good. The high point of this movie, in fact, is Helen Mirren. I was quite impressed with her inspiring performance - it kind of reminded me of Kathy Bates in "Misery". It is quite rare to see such a great performance like Helen Mirren's in an horror/suspense movie and this is the main reason why I have decided to comment on "Teaching Mrs. Tingle".
