Same here. I was forever altered by the experience. Warped.

You missed the reference.

Super Freak - Rick James
some of the PG lyrics

That girl is pretty wild now
The girl's a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In the new wave magazines.
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl's a super freak

scariest movie I've ever seen. (I saw it as a teen, and I'm dang near 50 now.) I would never read the book. 1) because it's too scary and 2) do not want to invite evil by even entertaining or opening myself up like that.

^ that is not cute and not a pix I wanted to see but now can't unsee. Gross.

I read the book at about 13 - slept with a rosary for weeks after. Scared the crap out of me.

I loved the movie back when I saw it, and now think it's pretty cool that I live in Mount Rainier, where the actual events are purported to have taken place. I didn't know about that before moving to Mount Rainier.

I disagree. I didn’t find the movie scary at all and I watched it for the first time as a tween. I saw it again recently (5 years ago or so) and it was almost laughable.
