Awe I love Julia Stiles!
For me, it was the end of summer term at school, everything was winding down and the teachers let us watch movies instead of lessons and someone brought a VHS of
Poltergeist in, we were probably 13 years old. Anyway all was fine, people were feeling a bit twitchy but
that scene in the bedroom, the storm is getting closer, he's counting the thunder, it's getting shorter and shorter, the lightening flashes and the clown has gone! well you could cut the tension with a knife...
Suffice to say when he looked under the bed and the clown rushed towards him, and the screen, half the boys in the class screamed like little girls, me included and we were all a bag of nerves for the rest of the day. I'm pretty sure that the teacher turned it off shortly afterwards as he realised it wasn't appropriate viewing for young teenagers in school
