Visiting Hours

If you ask people what they remember about 1982′s Visiting Hours, odds are they’ll mention the TV ad above, which may be the most effective horror movie promo ever made. The actual movie doesn't hold up as well, though, despite the presence of Lee Grant as an anti-violence crusader who … oh, the irony. It also stars Lenore Zann (the voice of Rogue in the classic 90′s X-Men animated series), and Linda Purl, in her greatest performance since starring with Shaun Cassidy in one of the most unintentionally hilarious TV movies ever made. And then there’s William Shatner. His “pudding” scene is the most horrifying moment in the movie, and still haunts my dreams all these years later. See for yourself.
