Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe role of Zelda, Rachel's terminally ill sister, was played by a man. Director Mary Lambert wanted Zelda and her scenes to frighten the audience but did not believe that a 13-year old girl was scary so she cast Andrew Hubatsek in the role to make something be "off about Zelda."
- GoofsAfter Victor Pascow's death, Dr. Creed throws his patient file into the trash can. No patient's file should simply be thrown away, especially after the patient was involved in an accident which would require a full investigation (including the use of his medical records).
- Quotes
Jud Crandall: Sometimes, dead is better.
- Alternate versionsTelevision censors of some of the film's gorier moments included alternate shots from different angles that hide the more graphic images. This especially came into play with the Timmy Baterman scenes and the film's finale in the Creeds' kitchen.

Featured review
I love this movie, It brings me the creeps. This movie just gave me a lesson "Just Accept the Death of Your Loved Ones or Bad Things will happen" This is one of Stephen King's Good Movies. He truly is the Master of Horror Movies. The Make-Ups of this Movie is Great and Realistic. Honestly, This movie was sadder than scary imo. I would recommend this movie to anyone.
This Movie is about how Parents would feel after the Death of a Child and that's what makes this movie relatable. It is quite Hurtful and Unacceptable to lose a Baby, Babies are too young to die. So this movie showed us that Keep your Eyes on your Loved Ones around threats.
