wasn't anyone else scared?
After I saw it at our local movie house, I had nightmares for weeks. Of course, I was just a little feller then. I haven't watched it since and, when my kids were little, and an Abbott and Costello feature ran every week on the TV, I always made sure to distract them to do something else when this movie came on. But nobody here seems the least bit scared. Is it possible some of the really frightening stuff has been edited out? One scene that got to me was Costello getting his head stuck in a hole in the rocks (imagine his head is sticking up through the drain hole in the bottom of a basin) and the hooded killer diverts a stream so the water will run into the basin and drown Lou. If that was supposed to be funny, it went over my head.
