I credit this - along with the original House on Haunted Hill - with being a major part of my early obsession with horror.
After one of my first major plays, my parents - instead of getting me flowers - got me a cheap DVD triple-feature of public domain movies: this one, along with Nosferatu and HoHH. It took me quite awhile to appreciate Nosferatu (I was probably 11 at the time), but the other two quickly became favourites.
I remember watching it for the first time at my grandmother's house (which, by the way, is haunted) on a tiny little portable DVD player. I was utterly spellbound...one of my favourites to this day, and I think it always will be.
