Sorry to go on about this film yet again, but I recently broke down and bought the Blu-ray of it. Included in the package is Frank Darabont’s “director’s cut” black & white version. I must say, even spookier. This is such an underrated classic, scary because the real monsters are the ones we can all turn into given the right pressures and circumstances. And the ending will haunt you forever.

Now, all I need is a suitably scare-able woman to watch it with me.
