Speaking of '75, how about some thoughts from the old timers who actually saw this back in the day? My mother told me the story of when she saw it, she was getting up to go the bathroom when the guy's head rolls out from the wrecked fishing boat. It scared her and she accidentally fell down the (unlighted) aisle steps.
I saw the movie on opening day in one of the local theaters in Bensonhurst. The hype for the movie was unbelievable. That scene brought the house down.... the theater EXPLODED in screams. It's still one of the scariest single scenes I've ever seen.
