The topic of scary movies came up awhile back at work and 'The Changeling' was brought up by someone as one of their favorite scary flicks. I had forgotten about it, but have since been meaning to rent it as I do remember it creeping me out when I saw it at the time of it's release, although I was pretty young at the time and this might have something to do with it. The scene with the ball bouncing down the stairs still haunts me a little to this day...Now Salem's Lot...that wasn't bad! Especially for a made-for-TV film. It was replayed on TV awhile back and I watched some of it. It holds up surprisingly well; MUCH darker in mood than your typical TV fare. I started a 'scariest film you've ever seen' thread on another message board quite awhile back that got some great responses. I actually had to go back to the thread to cut and paste a section of a response discussing his personal Salem's Lot experience.
"...i think by far the most violent reaction to a horror scene i've ever witnessed was during a viewing of Salem's Lot. i was over at a friend's house. (he wasn't too fond of horror movies, but, as with everything else during those days, i talked him into it.) i can't remember if the scene was the appearance of Mr. Barlowe or the boy-vampire's entrance in the hospital... but when the beast appeared, matt did two screaming back-flips and ended up cowering in the corner of the room, crying hysterically.
his mother made me go home and prevented me from *ever* coming over to their house again.
matt wouldn't talk to me in school for months afterward...
even now (15 years later) when i run into him during visits home, he still gives me distrustful side-long glances as if i might just pull something else outta my pocket to fuck with his head...
mental note: make sure to schedule some time this christmas to go over to matt's house in the middle of the night and scratch on his window... "
Classic.
