"They're here!"
Need I say more? This is the movie that I'm sure scared the crap out of a lot of people in 1982...especially if you had children.
There aren't many movies that disturb me, but this is one of them. Just re-watching the trailer brought back all sorts of memories. I was only 5 years old when this came out, but I remember sitting in the living room watching it on BETA from the local rental store. What was my dad thinking?!
I don't remember what really happens in parts 2 or 3, but this movie is a blast to watch. The action by Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams and Heather O'Rourke (Carol Anne) is fantastic. While the special effects are a little dated now in the 80's they were really good. I prefer my horror films to be of the zombie or slasher sub genre, but Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper hit a home run with this spooky ghost flick. Easily one of the best horror films of the 80's if not of all time.

I remember part 3. It's the one in the big tower building, where the women/girls spend most of the movie screaming while covered in goo.
