I put the curtains over windows at night just due to this scene. If I ever saw a face staring at me from outside a window at night, I would shit myself
Classic scene, This is the first time Ralphy appears at Danny's window. The second time he appears at Dannys' window is at the hospital. That scene is essentially the same except its much darker and even creepier!!
Oh yeah, 'cause, you know... everyone's first reaction to seeing their long-dead brother floating outside their window in the middle of the night is: open-the-window-and-let-him-in.
I mean, I don't know about you guys, but that's what I do every time I'm in that situation.
@Blkat74 I feel for ya. I remember watching this when it first aired on tv back in 79. I slept under a window, all I could think of was this kid was going to come scratching at it wanting it.
This scene scarred me for life! I remember getting up and going downstairs as a kid and my mom and dad was watching this film, it's stayed with me ever since!
i aint gonna, lie this is scary BUT 1st of all. why did tha kid in bed feel it was ok to open a window to a float'n kid with fangs? #2 why is tha float'n vampire in pj's? i mean he died in his regular clothes & got burried in regular clothes right? so how did he change to his pajamas when his lil pale ass was in a damn coffin?
@omen74 He opened the window because he was happy to see what used to be his brother and then he fell under the spell of the vampire. Regarding the pjs, that is a good question as he was given to "The Master" in his regular clothes. I think it makes the scene look a lot scarier by contrasting the innocence of a young boy in his pjs with the blood-thirsty vampire he became. A classic horror scene!
when you see some pale faced, creepy, levitating person outside your window on a foggy night, YOU DON'T OPEN THE WINDOW! you freak'in get your arse out of there.
I agree with u guys, I can't even have an open bit on show lol how sad am I!! and the later scene in this film when the vamp in the rocking chair, I have a rocker and I keep my toys on it lol yeah a 30 something child here lol
love this movie but can't understand how ralpie glick (vampire boy) is wearing pyjamas when he was in normal clothing when he was offered to barlow (the master). perhaps when he signed up for the vampire society club he was offered FREE pair of pyjamas instead of a FREE parker pen........ mmm good choice
This is what horror films are missing today - true scare. I think they go for the gross factor and miss the creepy factor. This movie scared me when I was a kid and even today makes my hair stand up. The other part that freaked me out was when he falls in the vampires house and ends up on the floor next to the sleeping vampires. Then the night comes and you see them crawling very slowly towards him! Great film.
I remember watching this series, not really getting the supernatural element. Then this scene happened and I was sat there with my hands over my eyes. I was so freaked out.
@MegaWolfgang i just read the book and i thought this was the scene when marke petrie drives him away with the cross. In the book i thought both Danny and Ralfie got bitten in the forest, Danny came home and Ralfie didn't. either i missed something in the book or the movie was slightly changed because i don't remember this happening.
@BeatRappers Yep both movies 1979 and 2005 changed a lot from the book. But one thing when the two boys were attacked in the woods I don't think ether were bitten yet as Barlow was still in transit and had not yet arrived. Straker is human. He took the smaller boy so Barlow would have blood as soon as he got out of the shipping crate. That made Ralphie the first vamp in town. Barlow's first victim. Once turned he came after his brother.
@becalmned Well I suppose he could, but it's funner to play mind tricks on your victims and have them open it for you. That way, they have invited their own death in; ha ha ha.
@horselaverda Well,put it this way , if that little bastard came floating towards me, I'd punch his vampire teeth so far down his throat that the next time he tried to bite someone, It would be with his ASSHOLE.
Yep. Wouldn't watch this in the dark. Still too scary. Relative or not, a dead person knocking on the window at night surrounded by fog with those vampire eyes would make be close the curtains and turn every light in the house on.
The brain is neurological actually (didn't you know that?) The thought process is psychiatric or psychological. The Brain also forms part of the human anatomy and as you now look very silly indeed, I'm not really interested in being baited beyond this point .The conversation is boring anyway, so goodbye and be a troll elsewhere OK?
Could you freak a little kid (Which I was at that time) out any more than that scene? It hits so close to home because we all have windows; and when we're sleeping we fell so vulnable.
As I mentioned on here a couple of years ago, this film, and this very strange and creepy scene as to be one of the scariest visuals I have ever seen. And watching this film as a kid really gave me the ebee geebees.
Still I loved being spooked for some reason though lol...been a horror fan ever since.
That scene always creeps me out. I remember reading the book in high school and not wanting to look out the window right next to my bed. Some how this vampire film and others like Werner Herzog's version of Nosferatu are so much more effective than any vampire film that's been out lately. I miss when vampires were actually scary in movies.
I saw this in it's original airing when I was 9 years old, and it scared the CRAP out of me. I finally recently read the Stephen King novel, and I was actually disappointed to discover that little Ralphie Glick did not become a vampire in the book. Straker just sacrificed him, I guess, as a way to desecrate "The Lot" so that Barlow could come to town??
@MoonchildDog Pretty much. Matt Burke says later in the book that he thinks Ralphie was Barlow's "ticket of admission," as he required a human sacrifice to gain access to Salem's Lot.
I don't consider this a great film (it drags at points and David Soul is lousy in it), but the vampires are still very, very creepy. Show this to some "Twilight" loving pansies and watch them run screaming.
@mst3KGf I agree the vampires in this flick are scary as hell, which was what King intended when writing the novel. In his own words, his vision was "Stoker's aristocratic vampire combined with the fleshy leeches of the EC comics, creating a hybrid that is part nobility and part bloodthirsty dope, like the zombies in Romero's "Night Of the Living Dead".
I don't think Soul was so bad, though. He's a HELL of a lot better that Rob Lowe was in the remake, which SUCKED, IMO.
Things that make a movie become real and scarey, the music, the tension of not knowing whats next .Seen this when very young didnt disturb me,Could be a case of watched horrors from a very early age, see most films logically.Still enjoyed this
This was on when I was 7 years old and and my brother was 4 years older than me and often ditched me when we were walking through the woods on the way home.
That added a whole level of truth to me when I watched this. He would have totally let me get abducted by vampires or their servants. Only movie ever to give me nightmares. Well, maybe jaws which they took me to see when I was 4!!!!!!!!!!! have I been abused?
That is a fucking horrible scene! Still scarier than just about anything made nowadays. So simple but effective. What the fuck is he doing out there 'floating'? That is just not right. It's the way he circles around that really does it. Then when he starts to scratch on the window.. eughhhh! Disturbing shit. A hovering corpse, wonderful!
I remember being angry when I first saw this, that I hadn't been given any warning about how scary this damned film was, I didn't think I'd recover from the psychological effect of this scene and resigned myself to sleepless nights of terror for years to come.
I was only about 5 years old when this originally aired,but I still have vivid memories of this particular scene.Probably the best scene in the series.My older brother and I often imitate it for a laugh. It's still as scary as ever more than 30 years later.
@all: If your seriously are scared by this u should read more. This is NOTHING compared to a good horrorbook, since the own fantasy always goes mad when reading correctly. And this just looks like a low budget film... xD
@TainoMantis you are correct,I own this movie on DVD and seen it when I was about 8 years old.Think about why did Barlow move from Germany to England just before Hitler took power? To stay one step ahead of the police and Germany coming under the heel of Hitler he could no longer feed when he wanted to.Just Imagine that monster running ape in England durring WWII.
Between the floating kid outside the window saying, "Let me in" and the "Come and play with us" little girls in the Shining, these were the fixens for many a childhood nightmare. I actually went to a hotel much like the one in the shining (I was about 7). I had to use the bathroom, but the hallway looked JUST LIKE the hallway in the Shining. I didn't have to go anymore...
The trouble with vampires is they are always so alluring and hypnotic, so the victim is fascinated at first (just like energy vampires). Also that you have to invite them in or they can't get to you.
@KendraEMoyer yes the would be so alluring and hypnotic if they were real and that the rules about having to invite them in are made up by freaks who actually think vampires exsist
@hoobie06 A lot of assumptions in that comment. I said nothing about vampires actually existing, they are metaphorical for personality types. Much like your attention seeking (emotional vampire) crap.
@KendraEMoyer haha.. oh my bad.. i thought you were one of these freaks that actually thinks they are a vampire. you know, put in the fake incisor teeth, etc.
Really frightening. I remember getting my dad to shut my curtains before I dared to go into my bedroom. This stayed with me for years. And the remake is fucking rubbish.
terrifying! this scared me so hardcore when i was little, i remember flicking through the channels n coming across this scene, i was so scared yet i refused to change the channel lol i remember telling my mum about it the next day n describing this window scene n she knew exactly what it was haha
Laughing a bit at many of these posts from people who like me, were scared out of their wits by this scene in particular. I was only 10 but I freakin' moved my bed so that it wouldn't face the window. Then my buddy across the street (knew this scene freaked me out) put on his PJs and some plastic vampire fangs and came knockin' at my window one night around my bed time. Jerk. That's ok, I later burned a hole in his Nikes with a magnifying glass.
@cozmotone i have to agree with you here. i was telling my 5 year old son the story of this scary movie i watched when i was a kid called Salem's Lot and after watching this scene my mom had to sleep with me for 3 nights. this scene stuck with me for 30 years
i remember watching this movie when i was 10 years old. i could not sleep without covers or without a pillow behind me. even in my 30s i was still scared. this was more than just a scary movie. i thought it was just downright satanic. i was just recently saved by the grace of GOD. this is the first time i'm watching the movie in 30 years---not so scary anymore.
I was 5 years old when this came out and this i am sure was the catalyst of all my nightmares as a child. When i first saw it i just could not get the idea of seeing the same thing outside
Srsly.. HOW is that scary ? Its bullshit

@mst3KGf I agree the vampires in this flick are scary as hell, which was what King intended when writing the novel. In his own words, his vision was "Stoker's aristocratic vampire combined with the fleshy leeches of the EC comics, creating a hybrid that is part nobility and part bloodthirsty dope, like the zombies in Romero's "Night Of the Living Dead".
I don't think Soul was so bad, though. He's a HELL of a lot better that Rob Lowe was in the remake, which SUCKED, IMO.

Salems Lot has some of the scariest scenes ever. This being one of them and the scene in prison where Salem himself casually walks in... creep!

Things that make a movie become real and scarey, the music, the tension of not knowing whats next .Seen this when very young didnt disturb me,Could be a case of watched horrors from a very early age, see most films logically.Still enjoyed this

I remember seeing this on tv when I was 5 & it scared me to death. I couldn't sleep at night for weeks. What the heck was my mom thinking!

This was on when I was 7 years old and and my brother was 4 years older than me and often ditched me when we were walking through the woods on the way home.
That added a whole level of truth to me when I watched this. He would have totally let me get abducted by vampires or their servants. Only movie ever to give me nightmares. Well, maybe jaws which they took me to see when I was 4!!!!!!!!!!! have I been abused?

That is a fucking horrible scene! Still scarier than just about anything made nowadays. So simple but effective. What the fuck is he doing out there 'floating'? That is just not right. It's the way he circles around that really does it. Then when he starts to scratch on the window.. eughhhh! Disturbing shit. A hovering corpse, wonderful!

I remember being angry when I first saw this, that I hadn't been given any warning about how scary this damned film was, I didn't think I'd recover from the psychological effect of this scene and resigned myself to sleepless nights of terror for years to come.

Scared the living hell out of me. I know this was in the 70s but the boy vampire here looks like Jasper in Twilight

I was only about 5 years old when this originally aired,but I still have vivid memories of this particular scene.Probably the best scene in the series.My older brother and I often imitate it for a laugh. It's still as scary as ever more than 30 years later.

A phenomenal tribute to 1922's Nosferatu and the ancient civilization mythologies of blood eating monsters/creatures.
These vampires (animated corpses really) only use speech to hypnotize people for food. They are guttural, inhuman, and vicious.
And it is no big surprise that most of today's CGI heavy, pointlessly bloody horror is NOT as terrifying as this.

@TainoMantis
I'm so scared by this i could take a walk now.
Alone.
In the Darkness of the small Village.
@all: If your seriously are scared by this u should read more. This is NOTHING compared to a good horrorbook, since the own fantasy always goes mad when reading correctly. And this just looks like a low budget film... xD
No hating, just criticism. THX

@TainoMantis you are correct,I own this movie on DVD and seen it when I was about 8 years old.Think about why did Barlow move from Germany to England just before Hitler took power? To stay one step ahead of the police and Germany coming under the heel of Hitler he could no longer feed when he wanted to.Just Imagine that monster running ape in England durring WWII.

Between the floating kid outside the window saying, "Let me in" and the "Come and play with us" little girls in the Shining, these were the fixens for many a childhood nightmare. I actually went to a hotel much like the one in the shining (I was about 7). I had to use the bathroom, but the hallway looked JUST LIKE the hallway in the Shining. I didn't have to go anymore...

The trouble with vampires is they are always so alluring and hypnotic, so the victim is fascinated at first (just like energy vampires). Also that you have to invite them in or they can't get to you.
KendraEMoyer 11 months ago
@KendraEMoyer yes the would be so alluring and hypnotic if they were real and that the rules about having to invite them in are made up by freaks who actually think vampires exsist
hoobie06 11 months ago
@hoobie06 A lot of assumptions in that comment. I said nothing about vampires actually existing, they are metaphorical for personality types. Much like your attention seeking (emotional vampire) crap.

Laughing a bit at many of these posts from people who like me, were scared out of their wits by this scene in particular. I was only 10 but I freakin' moved my bed so that it wouldn't face the window. Then my buddy across the street (knew this scene freaked me out) put on his PJs and some plastic vampire fangs and came knockin' at my window one night around my bed time. Jerk. That's ok, I later burned a hole in his Nikes with a magnifying glass.

i remember watching this movie when i was 10 years old. i could not sleep without covers or without a pillow behind me. even in my 30s i was still scared. this was more than just a scary movie. i thought it was just downright satanic. i was just recently saved by the grace of GOD. this is the first time i'm watching the movie in 30 years---not so scary anymore.
