I was gonna tell a story when I realized I'd already told it around here somewhere, so I went and found it.  This is what I posted in another thread about 3 1/2 years ago.  

I have some crystal clear memories of my first viewing of BRIDES, in the theatre when I was ten years old, particularly the scenes mentioned by MP.  I went with my best friend, Craig, who was about 1 1/2 to 2 years older than me -- a big boy.  During the stable scene, when the padlock fell off the coffin, the place went up for grabs -- a humongous scream.  When it subsided, I turned to Craig to share the joy of that fright.  He had a strange, almost sick expression on his face, no joy there.  I asked him what was the matter, he just shook his head.  But I was worried and a minute later he still looked distinctly ill.  I asked again what was wrong.  He leaned over and whispered, "when the lock fell off the coffin...I peed my pants."  I didn't laugh, just took it that BRIDES OF DRACULA had done its work and more.

And this is that thread.  Pretty long and some interesting stuff.
