Let's Scare Jessica To Death (1971) - Official Trailer

[@LaJoBa1]

This movie scared the crap outta me one late nite when I was a kid... I was the only one up late night, it was a warm summer night and the curtains were blowing from the wind... It was just eerie.... Love this movie.

[@josephmcconnell5869]

I don't know why but for some reason this movie would air during the daytime and even them I would be terrified all day after watching it!! Love this movie as well!!

[@farmerbrown2a]

I remember a lot of great TV horror movies, exactly as you described ! 👍

[@mrhyde2484]

Me too, probably the same night.

[@649michael]

Meee to😮

[@leeeatmon5176]

this movie is a study of mental illness, sensitivity, and it's after affects .....well done. Zorha Lampert did an incredible job in this movie. Me and a friend of mine were discussing her in this role a couple of weeks ago....pure beauty in portraying such a delicate human being. I will consider this movie as a cult following, mostly because of Zohra Lampert's incredible performance as a sensitive human being spiraling into madness over and over and over.....

[@johnstone2029]

Spoilers So do you think what went down was real? Was the squatter really a ghost and the town full of cultist? Great analysis btw!

[@TheMysteryMachine]

Could not agree more. Probably the best acting I've ever seen in a b film.

[@michaelbruns449]

So well said and so true.

[@jdb371952]

Zohra Lampert was a great actress.

[@leeeatmon5176]

@@jdb371952 i enjoy her performances, saw her in so many movies and tv shows, a gifted actess, .....loved how she introduced "pizza" to Warren Beatty in the 1961 classic, Splendor in the Grass; also, she starred in Dr. Kildare a couple of times I believe, and again, she steals the scenes without emoting......what an actress!!!!!

[@jacksonwrightmusic6805]

Plot-wise this trailer kind of gives away the whole movie, but it's totally worth watching for the atmosphere. One of the best underrated horror movies.

[@HarrisO.R8]

Yes I agree...in a word..CREEPY....I get what you mean about the trailer...if you look at many trailers from the late 60's and 70's..they all gave too much away..they pitched movies like they pushed laundry detergent..all the best scenes and a voiceover saying things like the creepiest or scariest movie ever made...they sound like carnival barkers!!..LOL...Check out the original 1975 trailer for JAWS....they did it right...they showed everything and nothing....Cheers to you and YES..one of the most under rated horror movies ever made!

[@lockandloadlikehell]

@@HarrisO.R8 this trailer's giving me a headache

[@HarrisO.R8]

How true.....but watch any trailer from the 50's to the 70's...it was like selling dish detergent....all the best parts of the film to get you there...however, check out the original 1975 full 2 min trailer for JAWS....that's how you sell a movie, find a way to show everything and nothing...without one shot on being shown when the shark jumps on the boat.... Well done.

Have you seen Antrum? ​@@HarrisO.R8

[@paulppchristman5827]

Saw this one on the tube on ABC one summer night when I was sixteen. Chilled me. Not long afterwards I was diagnosed with severe depression, so I can relate to Jessica's plight when it comes to people treating you with kid gloves and not taking you seriously because of your emotional fragility.

[@rodino70]

This was my grandmother's favorite horror movie, I'm so glad it's getting a proper release.

[@meesalikeu]

a proper release? ok nigel

[@michaelbruns449]

Beyond any shadows of doubt the 1970s were the most profound and influential era for cinematic horror films. A strange haunting ambiance of ominous dread permeates and radiates from every frame and sound of this cult classic movie. Definitely this is one of the very best from that provocative and unforgettable decade. And recognize the future soon to be doctor from The Exorcist two years later.

[@baroh2413]

So true. I dont know what it is but there is something about horrormovies from that decade. It is as if that period still had a connection to the past, that you do not see today.

[@youngwarriorpopocaca]

You have Rosemarys Baby to thank for that, because that became a commercial success the movie studios made more horror films

You have great taste. :)

[@youlandaanderson5111]

All good classic TV horror movies from the 70s

[@unhooked25]

Oh yeah! That "Trilogy of Terror" that was another freaky one. Now if I remember correctly it was like three short movies in one and the most freaky was the last one with actress Karen Black with that little African voodoo doll

[@lisas3545]

Burnt Offerings still freaks me out. Karen Black's eyes and facial expression in the end spooked me bad!

[@alycew.787]

[@delmerroyster599]

Saw bits and pieces of this movie as a kid..could never catch it from the beginning..so I went out and bought it..and I've been fascinated with it ever since..never seen anything quite like it..I had the video until I wore it out..now I own the DVD..over 30 years ago and I'm still watching it..master piece.

[@cindymcdaniel1788]

It truly is unforgettable, isn't it? I've been obsessed with this movie for over 30 years. Nothing creepier ever been made, and I love all the hippie stuff in it too.

[@LaJoBa1]

Fantastic movie, I watch it yearly, saw it when I was like 10 years old, late late show, everyone else was in bed, the windows were open and a breeze was moving the curtains... I was terrified! 😂

[@robotdowney]

The subtle sound and visual effects of this movie seems so modern, way smarter than in typical older horror movies

[@MadMan731]

One of the best horror movies of the 70s. I saw it thanks to my local library.

[@discodirk48]

We used to do acid as teens and we loved Let's SJTD and would go on nature walks and whisper Jessica oh memories...

[@kenh9681]

Ahhhhh the good old days of being a teenager in the 70s.

[@collegeman1988]

I was about 10 years old in the late 1970s and one night I was watching ABC, and Let’s Scare Jessica To Death was featured in a commercial about this film being shown on television that week. For some reason, the memory of seeing this on TV was burned into my brain because it scared the poop out of me.

[@CoryAlphin]

Agreed. I've only seen it once around 2007 and the eerie atmosphere is what I remember most.

[@wkduffy]

Zohra Lampert gives her all in this low budget flick; she's so fragile, easy to sympathize with. You really don't want anything to happen to her...but it's a 70s horror movie, and by that logic it simply HAS to end badly for everyone, sorry Zohra. I loved her bit part in Exorcist III as well.

[@kevinh8736]

I watched this on tv when I was 7. Scared the hell out of me!!!!!!

[@emily_fox165]

I saw this when I was young and scared. I have been looking for it for years!!! Thanks for posting the trailer❤❤

Watched this as a kid and it was pretty unsettling; there were a few nights I had to leave the lamp on. Even now watching this trailer it still gives me chills.

[@kenlove1472]

I was eleven years old when this came out. My mom wouldn't let me go with my friends to see it. She didn't think I was mature enough!

[@peej1960]

Ditto. My Mom said it'd give me nightmares. I so wanted to be w/my friends though. RIP, Mom.

I had a band & suggested we name ourselves “Let’s Scare Jessica to Death” but my bassist had a niece with that name & refused to go with it. Thus was born “Jesus Chrysler”.

[@cindymcdaniel1788]

Yup! I knew I had one! It’s called “Turn Or Burn” on Second Coming Records from 1987, which was when I sent away to America for it from Scotland! It’s in a white sleeve that says “Limited ‘We ran out of money for more covers’ Edition”! It’s 35 years old and is still in Mint condition!
