I broke my arm after seeing this movie on TV when I was six years old...


I remember it was one Saturday afternoon, I was flipping through channels in my older sister's room, and I flipped to the scene where Susan was being hypnotized by her psychiatrist and crying for her mother. Then all of a sudden, she becomes possessed and her eyes turn green and her voice changes. I found the movie intriguing.

But a few scenes later, when the delivery guy shows up at her house, Susan answers the door with her cleavage hanging out. I say to my sister, "I see her titties!" My sister says, "He sees her titties, too."

Then when he goes inside to make his telephone call, Susan transforms again and makes his head bleed to death, killing him in a painful way. I found that whole scene traumatizing and I screamed, so my sister turned the TV off. She said, "What an icky, stupid movie! Don't worry, people put ketchup on their faces all the time in movies."

Later that day, my parents took me to buy a new bicycle. I was excited because I had just learned to ride my bike without training wheels, and now I was graduating to a bigger bike.

My house is located on a cul-de-sac on top of a hill, and I was riding my new bike around the cul-de-sac, and I was happy. But I was disturbed and sickened by that movie scene I had seen earlier. Then, when I was spaced out, I turned my bike down the hill. I didn't know how to use my handle bar brakes yet, and I couldn't stop with my feet, the bike kept going down hill faster. I crashed into the dead end sign at the bottom of the hill. I fractured my left elbow.

That was in spring of 1988. For years afterwards, I always remembered that creepy movie scene. Twenty-five years later, I searched keywords on imdb for "Susan possession" and I found the title of Mausoleum. I found it! I ordered a VHS copy of it off the Internet, and when I watched it, I thought, "What a cheap, stupid movie! This frightened me when I was six?!"
