CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Art students in New York have come up with a new way to watch movies on TV.
Our Jeanne Moos went to Grand Central Station for a look.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): These TVs are going to kill you. And it's not just what's on TV, it's what's under.
(on camera): Oh, there she is. There she is.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There we go.
MOOS (voice-over): From Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven Year Itch" to Hitchcock's "Birds" to "Edward Scissorhands," this programming is cutting edge.
JEFF SCALLA, SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS: Take a brand new TV out of the box and just sandpaper it and glue stuff to it. It was just great.
KEVIN O'CALLAGHAN, SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS: The instruction was to pick a favorite movie moment and kind of create a shrine to that moment.
MOOS: Students from New York's School of Visual Arts chose everything from "Silence of the Lambs" to "Rocky," and though movie critics can't lay a glove on these TVs, one did get the axe. Remember when Jack Nicholson hacked through a door in "The Shining?"
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP FROM "THE SHINING")
JACK NICHOLSON: Here's Johnny!
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MOOS: Nothing's a bigger scream than "Psycho."
O'CALLAGHAN: People just love this scene. They stop. They still get frightened.
MOOS: The tiles and even the Bates towel mimic the movie.
O'CALLAGHAN: The rings.
MOOS (on camera): So this is the exact same rings? O'CALLAGHAN: Well, we tried to reproduce them as close as we could.
MOOS: From the shower to the sink, Lily Tomlin in "The Incredible Shrinking Woman."
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She's trying to climb out but she's so tiny that she can't get out.
MOOS: Here in the heart of Grand Central Station, it's the Empire State Building, featuring "King Kong."
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP FROM "KING KONG")
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm (UNINTELLIGIBLE) and I'm not going to take it anymore!
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MOOS: Another building features the mad as hell scene from "Network."
(on camera): And talk about lifelike replicas -- one student even put dust on the back of his giant set.
(voice-over): It's a movie buff's paradise come to life. The bed scene from "The Exorcist," Willie Wonka's "Chocolate," "Thelma & Louise."
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And all the real details from a '66 Thunderbird.
MOOS: Ghosts of movies past, or, in this case, the central pottery scene from "Ghost."
As for Marilyn, she can't even hide behind her own skirts.
(on camera): All right, we saw that.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm sorry.
MOOS: Taking pictures under a lady's dress not allowed.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm a researcher.
MOOS (voice-over): With research like that, he's going to need a cold shower.
