Saw this when I was a child and never forgot Shelly Winter's hair under water. Still gives me chills!

IMO the best single scene in the movie by far. The unexpectedness of it, the design of the scene and positioning of the body, the music ... great stuff!🐭

Not easy to forget a haunting scene like that.

Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

One of cinematic most haunting and classic images, so beautiful and gruesome at the same time.

The 'Valse Triste' by Walter Schumann accompanying this scene adds power to an incredible image.

Absolutely what a team they were, shame they didn't get to work on 'The Naked and the Dead'
