I caught it on the big screen a few years back with a live piano accompaniment. A good time was had by all.

My FIL said that was one of the first films he ever saw. Scared him shitless; he was always up for a horror film.

That's how I saw it too. The guy playing piano got a standing ovation and deserved it.vern wrote:I caught it on the big screen a few years back with a live piano accompaniment. A good time was had by all.

Was it some Chinese guy from LA? That was who did the screening I went to at a college.

My older sister took me to see the original when I was about 6. Scared the shit outa me and I never want to even think about it ever again. Stop talking about it.

Did your older sister ever take you to see Freaks, the Todd Browning film?
That's the even more creepyist of all time.

Yeah I saw that. Upon uncovering deep seated traumatic repressed experiences, I was able to connect why I was afraid of midgets, women with facial hair and microcephalics. No longer afraid, I just hate them.
