    It was indeed. Stands up well, even today. I was lucky enough to receive the box set as a gift and really enjoyed seeing them again, even the naff ones :)

    Got to agree Marlon re the Amityville horror. First picked up on it in one our lasses mags. Read the book. Scared me sh1tless. Film didn’t live up to the book. Not many if any films do. Dan Browns books a typical example. But may have thought different if I’d seen the films first.

    As a teenager, saw a film in the late 80s called Demons. It was an Italian film but i cant remember if it was dubbed into english or they spoke it.

    I do know it scared me sh1tless to the point that i have never watched it again even though 30+ years on its probably crap now :D

    I remember when I was young and saw a little glimpse of Poltergeist. Scared me stiff for a while.

    Nowadays, I watch horror films a bit too often and I think I'm probably a bit desensitised to them so there's not much that scares me. Last film to make me jump was maybe Insidious 3 but it wasn't scary as such.

    Film was crap in relation to book tbh.
    Red Dragon one of best books I’ve ever read ,
    The Anthony Hopkins version didn’t do it justice at all , the “Manhunter” film weren’t a bad version but not a patch on the book but then are they ever?

    Books have never scared me despite reading loads of horror titles. I think I just have a terrible imagination. When others are imagining the creeping dread I am conjuring up an image of a man with a sheet on his head. People always say "the book was better than the film" but whenever I see a film adaptation I'm always amazed at the stuff going on that I never really picked up on when reading.

    Films? Hmm... the very end of REC is creepy.

    Oh, and as for The Exorcist; my first exposure to that was in the womb when my parents went to see it in Blackpool while my mum was pregnant. They tell me they came out of the cinema terrified and went back to the bed and breakfast where there was a power cut. They had to walk around an old dark house to find the bathroom. I'm surprised I wasn't premature.

    I watched it years later and thought it was pants.

    Yeah I've seen it, not good. Not really read too many horror books in recent years, might have to give it a try.

    I saw it at the Odeon never had a film experience like it before or since . Like you said queuing up with preachers begging you not to go in then a woman shaking in fear in the foyer with St Johns Ambulance workers round her . Had to go into the King George for a couple of pints after only to have a young lass run screaming through the pub , apparently someone in the women’s toilets had got the possessed girls devil voice off to a tee

    Watched nightmare on Elm Street when I was about 10/11. Was terrified at night for a couple of years lol.

    Refused to ever watch it again until quite recently then thought wtf, why on earth was I scared

    Just started IT by Stephen King having read it about 20 years ago. Film was also pretty scary. King is a great storyteller can’t imagine what must go on in his head to come up with that stuff.
