12. The Exorcist was scary.
Fri Oct 3, 2025, 02:00 PM

I had a date to see it, I had actually seen it the previous week. She made it till the scene where Linda’s head went all the way around. Well, we had to leave then, went back to where my date was staying. She went to turn on the TV and I heard her scream. The TV had come on to an Exorcist ad, the scene where Linda’s head turned all the way round!
