I was 9 :P

As soon as I saw that picture, I could hear 'The Flight of the Valkyries' playing in my head.

When the film came out, I and several friends, played the Vietnam game by Victory Games, and we would have the soundtrack from the film running in the background. Even now, I have 'the Chopper Song' by the Doors on a CD in the car and often belt it out.

No idea how many game characters I have called 'Kilgore' over the years. I certainly had a WoW character with that name.

I think you will enjoy Forrest Gump. I did, if that means anything.

It does.  And thanks for the endorsement.  I expect I will finally get to it when I get to it.  It'll come on just as I am sitting down to relax for a while.  Or I will be somewhere and they will be watching it.

It's worth your time investment. If anything just to see how history is intertwined with this movie.

The soundtrack is great too.

Alien...that movie still scares the shit out of me to this day. So does the original Salem's Lot. Oh and that is a novel that no 10 year old boy should read. Especially when every location referenced in the story is within a 50 mile radius of said boys' home.  :o

I was about 12 when I read it, it was the only Stephen King book that really impressed me. Vampires are cool at that age. When I was in college I visited the town. There was a storm blowing in that evening. I found myself walking through one of their 'burial pits' trying to get back to the car. "I thought this is not good." I imagined all kinds of freaks coming out of the woodwork.

The end of Pet Cemetery was a bit freaky.

There's an illustrated version of Salems Lot available but to be honest I've been too big of a wuss to pick it up.

I read Amityville Horror when I was 14. The paperback copy I had had flies printed on the first page of each chapter..... More and more flies as you got deeper into the book..... Near the end I was barely able to hang on to the book to read it. Scared the crap outta me.

The house I lived in from 8 to 18, had windows like in the Amityville Horror.  They were in my bedroom.  I refused to watch the movie once I saw the trailer with those windows.  I STILL haven't seen the movie to this day.  Although, I did watch some of that remake crap with Ryan Reynolds (something else to blame that no talent hack for).

I was 9 or 10 when that was on TV...I remember coming in to the living room RIGHT when that vampire bastard rose up suddenly out of the bottom of the picture frame...that scared the piss out of me and I had nightmares for a solid week.  :(

The first house I rented after getting my first professional job had a finished basement. It had one small room in one corner that had no windows. On seeing it for the first time, one of my friends said "pig room".... Never went near that room again and moved out a year later....  :-\

[Gusington]

You guys have lived in some freaky places. The Wife and I rented an old house for a year that had a stone and dirt basement where the laundry was. Going to grab our clothes out of there at night was always an adventure.

The Amityville house today has been altered to attempt to cut down on curiosity seekers annoying the current owners. It hasn't worked much.

Regardless of whether the haunting was a hoax or not, there was the little thing with the murdering-the-whole-family, which did happen there.
