This and a movie called Harrys War with the same actor. Paired, and burned in my mind 1985 fifth grade el paso tx after school this movie would jack me up I was close to my grandparents. I don't think I'll show it to my child not a big deal but its freaky sad I recall and we all know we were shown fd up movies in the 80s so why repeat that we don't do psych scarring via flick in my house lol

there was some other movie where a rock no roll star died and was a demon at a high school???

I loved this movie growing up.

It's not scary. This is touching. The Twilight Zone episode is just as good and maybe better. The Bradbury short story is...

Yeah, this scared the crap out of me too as a kid. And wow, I remember this really bad recurring dream I had of my grandmother trapped in a sarcophagus, and I had totally forgot that's how she was delivered in the movie. lol, well, that explains that crazy dream. I remember something about a glowing heart too. Lots of scary stuff. That ruined my Saturday mornings when it was on.

I remember watching this movie at 6 years old in the early 80's, and I've never forgot it. It has stuck with me all these years and I finally found and purchased it on DVD. There are many things that stood out to me like, when she poured the OJ with her fingertip, when she was plugged in to the wall while rocking in her chair and of course the ending. What a timeless classic with Maureen Stapleton!
