NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHY THIS IS CONSIDERED ONE OF KINGS SCARIEST… I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY O.K. AND I SAW IT IN THE THEATRE ON IT’S FIRST RUN…AND WAS A YOUNG TEEN AT THE TIME.. I LIKED THE SNL VERSION BETTER. STEPHEN KING LOST ME AFTER “CRISTINE” EVERY MOVIE SINCE HAS A T.V. QUALITY TO IT…

Love the movie.

Creepiest cinematic cat ever and the Achilles tendon slice still freaks me out. Its only the last scene where the movie falls apart.
That and the ‘ghost’ are never properly explained.

Fred Gwynne is awesome.

One thing that isn’t obvious enough in the movie (it is in the book though) is how much the burial ground itself is a character.

It’s like the house in the shining. The ground is influencing all of the events.

Yes, and he directed Maximum Overdrive. While he has kept on adapting his works for both big and small screen (and occasionally writing new things)…note that he never directed again.

You guys should do a Forgotten Friday review for Carrie. That’s a great horror film.

Oh really?! I didn’t know that. I actually don’t own this on DVD and it’s been ages since I’ve seen it. That’s cool. Didn’t he also write the adaptation for Maximum Overdrive?

I used to love this movie. Then I watched it again and every single little solitary thing about this film is done wrong. Completely. I’m not saying you can’t like this movie, but the acting (is that’s what you call it) looks improvised or like a high school play. This movie is just all kinds of horrible.

Love this movie. But the whole thing with the wife’s horrible memories seemed out of place; almost random. That part was scary, but it just stuck out and didn’t really contribute. Other than that, I’d say this is a perfect classic horror film.
