I was about 8 years old in 1973 when I saw Night Of The Living Dead at a drive in, and to this date it has been one of my favorite films if not my favorite. Also saw this absolutely lurid Exorcist rip off when i was about 15 called "Beyond The Door" aka The Devil Within Her that STILL scares me to this day.
The film had some seriously chiling possession scenes. Even moreso with the uncut DVD. A lot of people knock that film but it was very effective in a disturbing way.
However, one that REALLY scared me was the Barbara Steele film Nightmare Castle from 1965, that played regularly on a show called Creature Feature when I was a kid. A very twisted tale with a very memorable end scene that puts it high on the list of vengeance from beyond the grave-type films.
I wanna add another one to the list.
There was a 1973 film called Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark that is allegedly being remade this year by Ang Lee. The original film premeiered on Saturday night on ABC's Saturday Night Movie. The film revolves around a young couple who have inherited a house, but also it's dark secret, and due to the idiocy of the lady who allows her curiosity to get the better of her, more than just the cat is let out of the bag...ya' gotta see this one. This needs DVD release badly!
mine was the Exorcist, Iwas 4 yrs old and that movie scared me for life, but I own the movie. lol. Part 2 was gay , 3 was fair. I rember there was a movie that really put the scare in me . It is an older one. It had these 3 insane guys in it, that escaped from the insane asylum. they went to this carnivalle that was in this town. they killed the clowns and put their make up on. they followed these 3 boys home, which were brothers, 8 to 15. Well these 3 insane guys killed all 3 of these boys and they were never caught. This movie is very creepy. Can anybody tell me what the name of this movie is. I have been looking for it forever.
