Herk Harvey's macabre masterpiece gained a cult following through late night television and has been bootlegged for years.

En route, she becomes haunted by a bizarre apparition that compels her to an abandoned lakeside pavilion. Criterion is proud to present the ultimate special edition of this eerily effective B-movie classic that continues to inspire filmmakers today
