When I was older, it would be shown on Sunday afternoon matinees on TV and I always knew I was in for a good time. I have the Blu Ray now and watch it every year at Halloween. Mason's Straker and his barely disguised contempt and his condescension towards other characters cracks me up.
The cross loses its “power” because Callahan accepts the monster’s face-me-man-to-man deal, then reneges and fearfully refuses to throw away his cross. Scene is somewhat better in the book.
