Me too. Watching his madness progress as he constantly chewed on aspirin was really weird.
I also loved him in “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest”.

“But, Mrs. Mulwray, I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it. And I still think your hiding something.”
Agree totally! That's my scariest movie ever. I found the complete isolation of the family in the dead of winter inside that huge vacant resort with no way out to have been completely frightening. Watched much of the movie through parted fingers.
Just watched it again last night. The only movie to give me nightmares as an adult.
