In reply to the discussion: What is the scariest movie you ever watched or walked out on? Mine was the Exorcist. How about you? [View all]LogDog75
(889 posts)13. The Exorcist was scary when it came out
One of the guys I worked with at the time The Exorcist came and he told me this story. He and his brother were sharing an apartment and they took their 15-year old brother to see the movie at a late showing. After the movie, they called their mother and told her their brother was going to stay at their apartment instead getting home late. While their 15-year old brother was asleep, they crept into the bedroom went on opposite sides of the bed. Then, they picked up the bed and started shaking it violently causing their younger brother to wake up screaming. The guy said it took them awhile to calm their younger brother down but that it was funny.
