Anyone ever see the horror gem 'Lets Scare Jessica to Death" from 1971? It gained popularity on late night TV and has since been a cult classic. Its very subtly creepy, using music and mood rather that imagery and gore. Its an excellent film! I've actually been to all the filming locations and would love to show you this link for anyone who loves the film: http://youtu.be/8z_1GQIzv04
It was filmed in Connecticut!:D

First saw it at a drive-in in the 70s. Really nice, creepy film.

I like the movie, it has some REALLY creepy camera shots. My only complaint is that the title doesn't really match up with the film in my opinion... I understood they were implying that her friends might be conspiring to make her relapse into kookoo land, but it worked better as more of an unexplained entity movie than a paranoia film. Good chase scene music too :P
Good movie....and like the other old bastards...I too saw it at the drive-ins.

I actually got to see this on the big screen about six or seven years ago as part of a horror movie marathon at a local revival theatre. It was pretty great.

Oh yeah! Yeah, I liked this one! Very 70's, and that's a good thing.

Had to dig this thread up. One of my all time favorite movies. The scene by the lake is fucking iconic IMHO. So creepy and beautifully shot.
Anyone else love this one?

I have this somewhere. I suppose I should watch it before I die.
I'm pretty sure it was a double feature with "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud".
another gem from the 70s

I did! And Leonard Whiting (of Romeo and Juliet fame) played Dr. Frankenstein.

I never realized this was a supernatural film. By the title, I always thought it was one of those "evil children" movies. I decided to order it and I look forward to watching it.

Hope you enjoy it. It can be slow moving at points but it's interesting and genuinely creepy for the most part IMO. I need to rewatch soon.

Remember seeing the ads when I was 9, but no way my Mom would have taken me to see it. Finally caught it on an AWFUL VHS EP mode and really didn't think it was all that great. Should give it another look...DVD presentation may make the difference.
