Interesting story..
I actually think ET works, a bit, as a horror film–even though it became more a drama than fright.
There were so many elements that, even though I cried as a kid watching it, I was a little freaked out and scared.. There was the haunting image of the suburb at sunset where ET and Eliot are walking the streets in Halloween costumes. That scene of Halloween at dusk was even more frightening to me than scenes in horror movies. And I don’t know why..
I just don’t know why..
ET was originally going to be a horror movie..
