Maybe I was a bit over-harsh in my comments.  It's just I find horror
stories so gloomy and depressing and, worse, so stupid which is the
worst thing a story can be.  I hate this this time of year, with all
the Halloween stuff around, and I over-reacted by venting all my anger
on you.  I'm sorry.

So, in an effort to find something good and positive about
"Pyramids"... at least it doesn't have River Song in it!  And despite
the horror influence, there are no vampires, which is nice.
