I'm still happy I read this novel, since the movie adaptation is a great Halloween classic...But I definitely prefer the movie in this case!!!
The 1970s seems to have been the decade for the horror genre, especially ones focusing on demonic possessions.

But the execution failed to make it so to me. I've seen the movie, the original. It's one of my favorite horror movies. I love it. It scares me. Every. Single. Time. I know what's going to happen. Hell, I can probably quote at least half the movie. And it still scares me. I thought the book would
This book is actually for a group challenge in April, but since I've sworn off re-reads for 2012, I decided to knock it out early.I first read this back when the movie came out. The first movie. So I was pretty young, maybe 11 or 12. I remember liking it pretty well. Unfortunately, on this re-read I suspected the author might also have been 11 or 12 when he wrote it. The story is excellent and very creepy. Whether a true story or a hoax, it's very compelling. The flaw in the story telling almost
