yeah,in the Omen, i wonder what kind of direction they gave the child who played Damian.........how did they tell him to act and look?........did they say "look intently........just stare as if you are watching a spider about to catch it's prey", or did they say.........."you're the devil incarnate......you're possessed- you're EVIL, EVIL, EVIL we tell you!!!!!"
and (yee gad) ZOOK, i agree that the shots of the stairs (Exorcist) were powerfully emotive .......the doorway to evil.
and Nightmare on Elm Streetdefinitely got under my skin, so to speak...... clearly, the age you are when you see scary flics can make a huge difference on their impact. when i was young and watching Batman and Robin everyday after school..........i actually thought i could call the TV studio (ABC< NBC OR CBS was about all there was then) and WARN Batman that the Penguin had set a trap for him , or that the Riddler was about to gas him....etc. Batman and Robin wasn't "scary" fare........but my age made me pretty vulnerable...........i don't know how young i was........but if i'd seen Nightmare on Elm Street or any of a host of others at that age.......whoa nelly...........!!!
