Shelley Duvall was good in her role there, but the best example ever of perfect casting was her portrayal of
Olive Oyl in Popeye.

They still have that shadowy look beneath the eyes.

Not being snarky or disrespectful, I think they are scarier now than back then. I’m sorry (not).

‘Stanley was such a perfectionist and had planned exactly how he was going to pour the blood over us, so our main concern was just staying really, really still. ‘We only had one set of blue dresses, so we had to get it right the first time otherwise the blood would ruin the dresses. ‘I remember that was very challenging for Stanley because he liked to do many takes.’ ‘Those two dresses have since been cleaned and are touring the world, but if you look closely you can still see some blood stains on one of them. ‘We really hated them, they were horrible to wear and quite scratchy. Neither of us were particularly ‘girly’ as kids, so they weren’t our kind of clothes.'

I'm glad they survived. Usually things don't end well for child stars.

Seriously creepy movie with relatively little gore.

Interesting that they spent so much time on the set considering their brief time on screen.

They are quite pretty today.

I would not have allowed my child to be in a movie where there is nudity.

I barely ( no pun) remember it being in there, but I do remember it was.

They were probably better off leaving Hollywood. So many of the child stars wind up broken, twisted and dysfunctional.

I was struck by the careful way Danny, the youngest actor was dealt with. The director knew he was dealing with a 5 year old child, who was deemed as too young to know the full meaning of this storyline. The director made an agreement with the actors not to tell Danny the entire narrative.

In the scene where “Mom” Shelly Duval runs around the house hold both toddler and dagger, I believe she held a doll, not the child. I wonder if directors of today take a child’s age into consideration when describing their character’s role to a child actor.

They now look a lot like Valerie Harper.

One of the best Jack Nicholson performances but otherwise the movie felt flat for me. The book was much better. I also don't recall the twin girls being featured very prominently in the book, if at all. The book talked about Grady killing his family but didn't get into detail about the family.

There's some conspiracy stuff about the movie out there on the Internet that's kind of entertaining. Things like a hidden apology for the faked moon landings and such. The things people can come up with!
