Raiders of the Lost Archive
In which a batty professor with a singuarly inappropriate hat and a penchant for being dragged along under passing vehicles whips a bunch of 'freshers's repeatedly as they struggle through the dusty archives and break through into a long-ago walled-off section of the University Library, meeting and surmounting such ancient horrors as the Card Index of Doom, Dewey the (decimal) Destroyer, and 'Stax' a towering semi-animated semi-sentient zigarrat of musty mouldering volumes and scrolls tied with fragile ribbons.

Silence of the Librarians. An arty black&white and wholly gratuitous humour-noire in which a seemingly sweet and demure fifty-plus librarian kills anyone who dares speak above a whisper using the silent basilisk stare she has developed over many years. She then catalogues and indexes the bodies in her 'Special Reference' section where they are neatly shelved and displayed - spine outwards, of course - and dusted once a week in accordance with Library Regulations.
