But I wouldn't be in a rush to watch it. <br /><br />Erich, it's funny how parents never seem to be around when scary shit pops up on TV. My mother left the room when I saw the Magic commercial, too! <br /><br />Knob, this definitely is not in the same league as the "Talking Tina" TZ or Dead of Night. I couldn't even point to one creepy sequence in the whole movie.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-22248750252588938662009-10-28T15:45:44.836-07:002009-10-28T15:45:44.836-07:00I know I saw that ad as a kid but it must not have...I know I saw that ad as a kid but it must not have made much of an impression on me... but I remember wanting to see the movie and being a tad disappointed. <br />Not a bad movie, just not scary... unlike that creepy Twilight Zone episode, or The Dead Of Night.Timmy Crabcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737954661234574830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-49327418993236694662009-10-28T13:12:09.151-07:002009-10-28T13:12:09.151-07:00Wow, one of the defining scares of my childhood - ...Wow, one of the defining scares of my childhood - along with the Zuni Doll from Trilogy of Terror. I will never forget the night I first saw it. I was all of about six, watching the Love Boat/Fantasy Island block with my mother on a Saturday Night. She stepped out to go to the kitchen and that commercial came on. <br />Sweet Jesus. I still can't believe how crazy and angry that thing looks.

I would have so shit my pants as a kid! <br /><br />I almost bought this movie a few time used for $5, so I'm glad I didn't since you do not seem too keen on it, but I would still like to check it out someday.Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-26650902777154537852009-10-28T08:12:32.413-07:002009-10-28T08:12:32.413-07:00I really thought this was going to be a better mov...I really thought this was going to be a better movie.

Maybe I was so traumatized I just stopped watching TV for awhile! Glad you're enjoying Trick or Trailers, Senski - it's been fun picking these out.

Years later, I had to recite this for the World's Largest Trivia Contest that I play in annually. <br /><br />Siphon off some of the adrenaline and lower the pitch, and you can hear Lecter in that voice...<br /><br />These Trick or Trailers have been such a blast!senskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469603484774090192noreply@blogger.com
