well i bought this for $10 on VHS, and watched it the other night.
Very well done film by wes craven.  Seeing it for the 1st time has a lot of suspense in the family home, wondering what would happen, what is happening.

And the penis chomp scene, OUCH!!

Never saw this, but it was often referred to by Siskel and Ebert whenever they were talking about the worst movies they had ever seen.

on the preview / ad for this movie it sometime says "Keep repeating. Its only a movie...Its only a movie....Its only a movie.."
and recently while looking at a book called TRASH! that was a collection of posters of trash movies I saw a page of 3 posters (one of which was LHOTL) and all 3 had this on it. Was this something that the creators made up and other people used? Or did they use it for LHOTL and others decided to use it. All of them were in the same font and all of them had the words "its only a movie" getting smaller and smaller each line. I think one of the other programs had "From the creators of The last house on the left" on it.

IIRC, the first use of the "It's only a movie" campaign was either William Castle's Strait-Jacket or Herschell Gordon Lewis' Color Me Blood Red; both came out the same year, and no one's sure which one had the idea first. I think Last House is the one that really popularized it, though.

...and now you see where they got the idea for the "Home Alone" movies...people breaking in...little traps all around the house...

...of course "home alone" doesn't have any groin-chomping.

...and what about the goofy happy music...nothing says goofy happy music like a film about torture, rape, and murder.

The guy who played Krug wrote and performed the music!


I thought it was I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE that Siskel and Ebert hated....

                         Ebert loved this movie,while Siskel hated it,and it was "I Spit On Your Grave" that they truly hated.
                        This film is proof that the 70s indeed cranked out some groundbreaking,and extremely grisly movies that daringly couldn't be made today in our polished,capitalist film studio controlled movie scene.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
