On this day, October 26, 1984, Body Double, directed by Brian De Palma, premiered in theaters. Starring Craig Wasson, Melanie Griffith, and Gregg Henry, this thriller combined elements of suspense, voyeurism, and intrigue, drawing comparisons to Hitchcock’s style. Despite a $10 million budget, the film grossed $8.8 million at the box office but has since gained a cult following for its bold style and memorable scenes.

Who remembers watching Body Double? Did De Palma’s suspenseful direction leave an impression on you?
