When I was just a wee lil' boy with very limited experience (but already a lot of interest) in the field of horror flicks, I remember asking my dad what the scariest movie he had ever seen was. He then described to me the time he had gone to see Last House on the Left at the theater, back in it's original 70's release. He made it sound so shocking and disturbing that, for the next several months, Last House on the Left was my offocial holy grail, the first flick I ever looked for when visiting a rental place.
So when I finally found a copy, I was pretty damn glad. I remember waiting till my parents were asleep, then sitting in our basement living room with all the lights shut and popping the tape in the VCR. What followed was one of my first true cinematic letdowns. It also made me realize that, when it comes to movies, my dad is kind of a pussy
To be fair, near the same time, he also stated that his favorite movie was the MUCH better Jungle Holocaust (aka. Last Cannibal World), which he had also seen in theater back in the days.
