It's funny how this movie scared so many kids


Including me :D - and I wonder what we were all doing watching stuff like this in the first place

And seeing this as an adult, I can still say this is one of the most genuinely-scary films out there.

In fact, I just realized 'The Conjuring' kinda stole the idea re. the form of the demon/spirit. It more or less resembled the one in this movie.

Good observation. I watched The Conjuring a couple of nights ago, and that's why I came here - first time ever - because it reminded me of it.

Saw this 1992 when I was 10. I haven't seen it in over 20 years, but I remember it being the scariest movie ever. I'll have to give it a watch again to see if it scares me as much as it did when I was a kid.

It's based on the case files of the warrens. This is why you found it similar. The Conjuring 3 is going to be the smurl haunting.

I've never seen this movie but heard of the case. I've always been fascinated with The Warrens since my grandparents knew them and I met them more than once as a kid.

Yes! I saw this when I was a kid also and too this day, I'm 34, it has always stuck out for me as the scariest movie I saw back then. I'll never forget that movie ever and have no idea why I was aloud to watch it lol.
