The other reason the movie was so scary to me as a child was the victims were boys my same age... It was absolutely bone chilling to see children in coffins coming back to life.
:thumbsup Isn't that the truth. Kids weren't suppose to die, especially in that sort of way.
I remember when I was about 4 or 5. I was at my grandmothers house and she was going through old pictures mostly from the 30's and 40's. I remember seeing one of a child in a coffin. I had nightmares about that for a long time. Later I asked her about it and she said that is what they did back then. They were called death portraits (or something like that).
