Trevor's right--at one point she's playing the organ and she's kicked off her shoes to better feel the organ pedals. I have a couple of friends who are organists, and this is something that they do as well. Score one for Herk Harvey's eye for verisimilitude.
I caught this on its theatrical re-release in 1989 as well. It really works well on a big screen with an audience...or at least it did when I saw it.
This viewing, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I have in the past. I don't feel that it has quite enough depth to reward multiple viewings.

I still think that it's an essential part of every horror fan's knowledge base, but the film's real power lies in the impact of a first-time viewing.
