Viewing Notes

Haven’t watched the original in ages and holy shit is it still terrifying! Marilyn Burns is amazing in this. Makes me want to do an “origins” series where I watch movies that were seminal in the horror genre; either career-defining or a stylistic or sub-genre starting point; basically whatever had a major impact on the genre in some way. Could be fun.
