We were scared out of our wits, some of the kids wanted to walk out when the banjo dog showed up. I slept with no plants in my room for years after that.<br />But, the movie is now one of my top 4 favs, and I keep finding new interpretations about alienation, depresssion, and marriage: like when you wake one day after 15 years and suddenly you realize the person you fell in love with is now a complete stranger.<br />"She not my wife.

The original I caught on TV if memory serves, and it scared the pants off me then.

I bought it on Laser Disc and that has been good enough for me, plus it gives it sort of a nostalgic touch watching it that way.

Seen now as something of a period piece, it has a most distressing tone. <br /><br />When I was a tyke, I somehow got into a movie about a madman who had a ventriloquist dummy and committed many a murder. I well remember his dying at the end of the movie by being crushed under a slowly descending anchor chain. I don't know the name of the movie to this day nor if I'm actually blending more that one, but it scared me spitless. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.com
