Invasion of the body snatcher is the movie i watched when i was like 8 at a friends house. After that i had to walk home by myself at night. I never ran that fast home and never felt that scared, in kind of a good way. I never felt like that again and i’m not super into horror movies anyway, but that must be what junkies talk about when they say they chase that first “high” except for horror movies. A few years ago i discovered the band wolfie’s just fine, and their song reminded me a lot of that experience. https://youtu.be/qG8iAtpavK4?si=7bIu109xXBdY68aG

I caught the original b&w version when I was about the same age, spent a month checking under the bed for pods. I feel you!

I think it’s a generational thing too… there have been so many versions of that story it can hit everyone:

The original was 1956. Then the remake in 1978. “Body Snatchers” in 1993 which is creepy as hell, and apparently “The Invasion” in 2007 which I somehow missed.
