My first experience was the '78 version -- I was maybe 8 years old. It scared me more than any movie ever has in my life. My dad still pokes fun at me a bit since I didn't sleep a wink that night, and kept asking if I could sleep in his & my mom's bed.

That scene, more than any other, is burned into my brain, and was both heartbreaking and utterly horrifying.
I've never seen Ferrara's version, but realize that I absolutely must.
