Has that effect on many folks... I like it though. Simply gives me a hankerin for a "bit of the ultraviolet".
I have watched it all the way through and I didn't care all that much for it.
Kubrick has been hit-and-miss with me. I enjoyed Spartacus, Paths of Glory and thought that Dr Strangelove was a brilliant black comedy (one of my favorite films, in fact) but I have also been very disappointed in some of his films. 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, and--please, no axes and pitchforks!!--The Shining fall into this category. Eyes Wide Shut's chief attraction seemed to be the abundant female nudity and while I enjoyed the eye candy the film provided, I have yet to really figure it out.

Yep, been yearrrrrs.
Stanley Kubrick flick. Pretty good, too, but then, I generally like Kubrick films.
Dave beat me to it. Generally speaking movies don't affect me much but this one makes my skin crawl. I can't even tell you why. I might try to watch it again and see if I can figure out what the deal is. I haven't seen it in a few years now. Everyonceinawhile the old man will find it on tv but he just scrolls on past it. He says he liked it. Which is weird, too. He's not usually into that kind of stuff. Odd. I might ask him why he liked it.
Saw this today. Looks like Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, is retiring from her day job (or would that be night job) doing live appearances at Knott's Berry Farm in California, with final shows on Halloween night.
After 21 years, Elvira says this will be her final live show at Knott’s Berry Farm
The Mistress of the Dark has announced this year’s Knott’s Berry Farm live performance will be her last
"...She told her mom at the age of 5 that she wanted to be the Queen of Halloween, and soon after “Movie Macabre” first aired in September 1981, her cult status took off."

Who can forget the classic horror films she hosted, like "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" and "They Saved Hitler's Brain" ??

I watched The Hills Have Eyes, the Stand and Count Dracula yesterday and the day before. I first saw Count Dracula almost forty years ago on the PBS station in Seattle. It remains my favorite vampire film.
