The original 1950s version or the 1980s remake? I never saw the remake, still scared from seeing the original when I was a kid! ha ha

The 1958 version with Steve McQueen and Anita Corsaut. The 88 version is terrible. No need to rush out to see it. It's really dumb. It has a small gore factor, but not even enough of that to make it watchable.
