Yes, my sister and I must have seen this dozens of times. Of course, our mom did not want us to watch it as she thought we were too young (born in 1970 and 1971, so pre-teenage when it was on all the time, I guess). Naturally, we loved it. Our tiny little town had just gotten HBO, and we would have watched it 24 hours a day if we could have. Any movie that was HBO on a lot during the early 80s we saw over and over again--this movie and "Foul Play" with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase in particular.
I have not seen "Nightwing" since that time, but I recall it as being horrifying and would love to see it again. Our favorite scene was when the people all tried to jump in the car to escape the bats, and the one woman was not able to get in, and the man drove right over her to escape. It was so awful to us to see that, and it never lost its impact, even after multiple viewings.
Good to know I'm not the only out there with that memory.:)
