The original kind of creeped me out when I was a kid (I was a wimp) but really, it isn't that great of a film. It is boring in spots and what the hell was up with Rod Steiger anyway? He just overacted his way through his part. That was some of the worst acting I have seen from a good actor ever. Well, except for Burton in Exorcist II.
But it has its bright spots. ;)

Rod Steiger is second only to Jack Lemon when it comes to over acting ..
Sometimes it works .. it's fascinating to witness .. but in the wrong rolls it's embarrasing.
I remember at the time it came out that AH seemed scary a couple of times .. but it really wasnt a very good movie.
