    I watched the original recently. It actually holds up pretty well, for a 70′s low budget tv movie. I’d recommend seeking it out if it’s your thing.

      Yeah, I went back and watched original, too, since it scarred me as a kid. Still freaked me out. Dead simple, but terrifying. Plus, hilarious 70′s style male chauvinism!
