Hoo boy, we’ve seen some things during this year’s 20 Days of Horror, but today’s check-in spotlights yet another selection featuring interesting hair choices (James Brolin’s blowout that gradually degenerates into greasy limpness, reflecting his descent into madness; and Margot Kidder’s pigtails which have no symbolic meaning except possibly to foreshadow her future tragic mental illness) and memorable lines:
Rod Steiger: “I AM NOT SOME PINK CHEEKED SEMINARIAN WHO DOESN’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SUPERNATURAL AND A BAD CLAM!”
“Chiller about a family who are terrorised by supernatural forces when they move into a new house in New York State which was the scene of a recent mass killing and the home of an 18th-century satanist. When swarms of flies appear from nowhere and the pipes and walls begin to ooze slime and blood, they call on a local priest to exorcise the evil spirits.”
