I first saw this movie when I was in elementary school. It was Halloween, and my sister and I hosted a “trick-or-treat” slumber party. My mom rented The Bad Seed for us to watch while we od’d on candy. It was awesome. Saw it again, years later (now years ago) and it was still awesome! ---

I just had a long conversation with a co-worker and realized my Mom had me and my brother watching The Bad Seed, Mommy Dearest, It’s Alive! and The Exorcist from the time we were 5 to 12 years old.
