Uh YEAH!!!! I saw it as a re-run, in 1974 or 1975. I was 5 or 6 and this movie totally freaked me out. Gawker.com had a snippet of this movie as I had forgotten the title and it totally brings me back to that time my grandparents let me watch it

I am with the rest of you.
I saw it when I was a kid and it scared the crap out of me.
I did not want to go to sllep becuse I thought I would turn into a snake.

I was older when I saw this, but I still enjoyed it. It was creepy because of how the victim is turned.

If we can save humanity, we become the caretakers of the world

Wouldn't know. Saw it as a 36 year old this year! ;-)

It scared the ever loving sh!t outta me!

To say the least, it's left a seared mark on my brain that is still there!

I was born in '82 and I saw this when I was about 6-7 years old. The cinematography and who could forget the metamorphosis scene!?

It gives me shivers *still* at 34 years old. I never get scared by *any* horror film, with the exception of "The Exorcist". I don't scare very easily.

I haven't seen this film ever since that first viewing and I can *still* remember that particular scene!

I can barely recall *anything* from that age, yet I can still remember *this*!

Man, oh man....

Nope, because I saw it when I was 29. However, if i saw it as a kid, it would probably have scared the crap outta me.

I'm pretty sure I saw it in theaters in 1973 or whatever, and it scared the bejeezus out of me.

I saw it on TV in the 70s, and it scared the crap out of me!!!

I was 8 when it came out and it gave me a good scare. The more adult scenes went right over my head, but the spooky scenes really got me. It’s a well made morality tale.

The snake makeup weirded me out a little. Mostly though I thought it was laughable, even as a kid.
