THE CHANGELING has stuck with me ever since 1980, when I saw it twice during its initial theatrical run. To date, it remains the scariest movie I have ever seen. No matter how many times I watch it, I get shivers and goosebumps, and even have to flip on a few extra lights at night. The seance scene is quite possibly the most unnerving sequence I've seen in any film, period. And that score! bistis6https://www.blogger.com/profile/03335237816132498306noreply@blogger.com
