First "Horror" film I ever saw! I was around 7 or 8 years old, born in 1980. My dad thought it would be a great idea for me to see this. To me it's still one of the most "Mind-Scaring" movies to see as a kid. I had trouble sleeping for the rest of my childhood, and all sorts of other fears like, going in the basement. Very traumatizing movie, for a kid. Thanks dad!
