It simultaneously reminds you of your fears as a child (the tree, the creepy toys, things in the cupboard) and adult fears (death, the influence of TV, losing your children, something (literally here) rotten underneath the suburban dream). Some wonderfully memorable imagery too - the coffins rising up and spilling their contents, the "pool" of the dead, that horrid clown doll, the guy tearing his face apart). Spielberg's influence was clear and it can be argued it was Hooper's last good film (and the less said about the sequels the better!). Think I might get my DVD out and enjoy the ride again...
