I saw this when I was a kid, not sure exactly how old, somewhere in the tween range. Back then special effects were not what they are today, and a movie with such a small budget had even worse special effects that better funded films of the same era. Still, the movie creeped me out back then. As a 40 something adult I enjoy it for many other reasons, not least the camp factor. This movie, the two sequels and the show that were spawned from it are all great entertainment for anyone that enjoys horror.
