The movie that still gives me chills to this day is Burnt Offerings, and it TERRIFIED me when I first watched it on TV when I was probably 10.
Most of it didn't scare me at all, except for a couple of scenes with a character just called The Chauffeur. After 35 years, I can still hear the sound of his car driving up to the house, with his ghostly grin behind the wheel...
I've read it's a pretty terrible movie, but the cast is amazing -- Burgess Meredith! Karen Black! Oliver Reed! BETTE DAVIS! I bought it when it came out on DVD, but it's still in the shrink wrap...
