In Reply to: Most effective Horror movie?? posted by Mr.Mc on June 26, 2001 at 16:53:41:
The 1953 version, not the unwatchable '86 remake. I first saw this on TV when I was perhaps 6 years old and it frightened the hell out of me. I had nightmares about it for weeks. It was done on a low budget but not by low talents (William Cameron Menzies directed). The central plot device - a young boy discovers an alien invasion in his backyard, and all the authority figures he turns to for help have already been enslaved by the aliens - couldn't be any scarier to a child. There's a few great images in it too, primarily the scenes showing people being pulled down into the sand.
Follow Ups:
Yes, my cousin a I saw the '53 version when we were kids too - and were both traumatized by the movie. We remained frightened of our own shadows for few weeks to come. We laugh about it now at family reunions, but that was certainly the scariest movie I ever saw - yikes!
