I love this idea, V.

1) Do you remember when you first watched it?
Yes, very well. I had some friends staying over for my birthday party; I must have been either 8 or 9. My parents had it on VHS, and I they let us watch it (which was huge for me, because they had always been kind of strict when it came to what I watched). We all sat around the TV with popcorn and root beer, totally enthralled.

2) Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?
Not really, or at least nothing beyond just being aware of its presence in pop-culture.

3) How was the viewing experience? How did it affect you?
Yes, it was thrilling. The cassette stayed in my room after that.

4) How many times have you rewatched it? Memories? Does it still hold good even today for you?
Of course. I've seen it countless times, and it never loses its strength.

5) Anything else you wish to share.
Not sure. So many people have surely had a similar experience with this film. There's a reason it's gone down as a canonical horror touchstone.
