rather than mention previously mentioned films or films that are obvious, I'll give you a movie that scared the pants of a young Crakeur. Let me
preface this with a story. One night in college a friend and I were renting movies for the night and we hit the usual comedy options (we were going
to be in a laughing mood, if you get my drift) and then we hit the horror to see if there was anything worthwhile. My friend grabs a movie off the
shelf and says it's the scariest movie he's ever seen. He says he watched it when he was a kid, with his dad, when a baseball game was rained out.
It was on regular tv (all the creepy stuff likely edited out) and both he and his dad were freaked out by it.
I looked at the movie and nearly dropped it. I saw the movie too. I had rented it with friends when I was in high school Scariest damned film I'd
ever seen and I was into all kinds of horror, gore fest, creep shows etc.
The story is about a woman who moves into an apartment and meets all these strange neighbors. Some of whom scare her for various reasons. I can't
say much more without letting the end game out but, suffice it to say, we rented it again and we scared the hell out of our friends with it.
Is it still scary? Given the 1977 release date, the makeup is probably outdated and silly but I can't say for sure because I haven't seen it
since.
