Still a favorite that I watch every year at least once, this movie continues to scare me and I have seen it many times. I even like the colorized versions, and the recent DVDs containing the neat special features...this movie is one of the perfect Halloween viewing experiences, and should be given extra praise because it has held up so well over the years.

You folks have any memories from the first time you saw this? I remember I closed my eyes when the ghoul was chasing Barbra in the beginning...it was the first time I noticed I was closing my eyes during a film, and I respected the film from that moment, it was so energetic and so effective as a dramatic narrative.
