I didn't find it at all scary, but I'm glad I finally got to see it. I understand the films Corman made with Price are considered "classics" of their type.
Oh, and I ate candy. ... ;D

Have you seen any of the other Corman/Price Edgar Allen Poe series? "The Fall of the House of Usher" is my favorite.
I don't know what I'm going to do with all the left-over Halloween candy. I guess I'll eat all those fun-size bars or take them to work.

No, I've never seen any of them. That's why I was so glad to see The Pit and the Pendulum.

I expect we'll be wallowing in left-over candy at work this week. :-\

Heh, the modern Halloween, is certainly very American.. but it originated in the UK! Robert Burns even wrote a poem about it!

Does anybody do Guy Fawkes Day anymore? ???
When I was a kid in school they told us dumb colonials that Britain didn't celebrate Halloween, but people did a lot of the stuff "we" did on Halloween on Guy Fawkes Day. ???
Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
Gunpowder Treason and Plot.
I see no reason that Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot!
;D

I just thought of this tonight, too, and my reaction was the exact same thing. :o
