I went to see the recut version when it was rereleased in theatres. The theatre was a state of the art one with a whopping large screen. The damn movie got to me. With Capt Howdy showing up several times and the addition of the spiderwalk plus the atmosphere I was definitely feelinga bit uncomfortable.
A good point was made about the atmosphere created, there was a slight hint of mist in later seens. Also the use of low sound was effective. This is my fave. That movie, when released, was way ahead of its time, like A Clockwork Orange.
