This is a classic movie, one of the more unique out there. Anyway, it's no comparison to the remake which wasn't bad - but doesn't even come close.
I found the film a bit scary as a kid cause I never saw a children's movie where the kids died. At least, it seemed that way. Note, at the end, it was explained they were restored to their miserable selves - but probably I didn't notice that as a kid.
