Watched as kid, then re-watched as an adult...

So I remember this movie from back when I was a kid in the 80's/early 90's. I remember it being haunting and kind of gave you the creeps. It was one of those movies you just kind of watched, even though you didn't necessarily enjoy it. Well last year around Halloween, my family decided to bust it out for old time's sake. My wife is there with me and my younger siblings. I hadn't really remembered it at all except for a few parts; like being locked in the closet, the little girl, the ghost woman, and the song. Well damned if I hadn't realized that the whole thing is a about a child molester grooming kids, molesting them, and killing them! My wife was so grossed out at the plot, and it left me thinking "why the hell would my parents let me watch this when I was a kid??"

But hey, kids just dealt with darker stuff back then in their films. Think of other movies like "An American Tale." It's every kid's nightmare--being separating from your parents and lost, and being in a depressing, scary place.

Anyone else have an experience like this?
