First the movie was released without the Spider Walk scene. Then, it was re-released in an anniversary edition with the scene included. Now you can purchase the movie with an even eerier version of the Spider Walk scene – one which you've never seen before and which will scare the bejeezus out of you!
While that might be just about the creepiest scene in the entire movie, it's certainly not the only one that makes you want to start wearing a crucifix and burn your Ouija Board. Although, it might be a good idea to track down the nearest Jesuit community and put their number on your speed dial. Oh, and just in case... move into one of the downstairs bedrooms for a while!
