We had some adult friends who lived in the country when that movie came out. They landed up having to move to town to an apartment, freaked out the wife so bad. She wouldn't walk under an attic fan after seeing it.
I slept with the lights on for a year after seeing it, and LOL...I didn't really even see it. I sat thru all but the first 5 minutes with my head down. But the sounds were bad enough.

I have never watched it since. I have never seen the sequals and won't watch them either. I saw it before remote controled televisions, or at least before my cousin had one, so I had to endure the movie visuals and sounds because I was too darned scared to get off of the sofa and turn it off. I couldn't even get up to turn the lights off. I had that dry mouth, light headed, panicking type of fear going on.
