I mentioned this film in the Horror Music forum earlier, but I thought I'd start a new topic about this great film of the 70's. Now that the winter is drawing closer, the evenings getting darker and...

It is a good, intelligent, well-made movie. The best thing about it, though, is the terrific performance by Roberts Blossom as Ezra Cobb. "Its a shame that the film often has to face down the...
