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]

(1,407 posts)16. The Exorcist. I watched the whole thing.
Having been raised semi-Catholic (my mother was agnostic, but my grandmother took me to Mass), that movie scared the bejeezus out of me. That was when it first came out.
I never watched it again but I've often wondered if it would affect me the same way all these years later. Would the special effects be laughable to me now? I don’t think I'll ever know because I'm still reluctant to find out!
