Saw it once about 20 years ago and it made quite an impression. As others have remarked, the opening sequence is outstanding. I wish most horror films could start with a bang like this one! The guy who is impaled on a fencepost was also pretty shocking.
The acting and dialogue was better than usual in this one. When the hooded fiend's identity is revealed, it wasn't the biggest surprise in the world, but what was surprising is how sympathetic he suddenly became and how the female subject of his obsession related to him.
There's something inherently eerie about these super-cheap B$W spookers that were made outside the Hollywood system. "Terrified" must have something going for it for me to recall it all these years later. I'd like to grab a DVD or tape of it...
