I have it on DVD and about every 6 months I’ll watch it...

Scares the bejesus out of me!

Almost as bad as the big E...

You haven’t missed much. I’ve tried to watch it a few times because of all the hype and was totally bored so changed the channel.

I saw The Exorcist with a bunch of college girls. We laughed all the way through.

Yes, yes, I know...dear Maurice Evans, a "witch"! ROTFLMSO

It's a good movie ( except Farrow is miscast! ), and Ruth Gordon is spectacular in that movie, as she is in almost every film she ever made.

But the book is much better!

Yes, NYC has a "starring role" and rewatching it now, is like having a time machine, in a way. If I had a dollar, for every time I was in each of those places, for just the year that that story took place.....;^)

How can you go wrong with Patsy Kelly too? That whole coven was composed of wonderful actors and actresses!

Mia got her hair cut ( which caused one hellacious fight between her and Frank! ) a la Twiggy, during the filming of the movie.

My posts, unlike yours, are filled with facts and never stupid, uneducated, nor ridiculous.

Good for you!

Personally, I've never found that movie nor Rosemary's Baby scary, frightening, nor scary either.

OTOH....the shower scene in "PSYCHO"...

I hope your ridiculous argument was kind of fun...

A spirit is an invisible being. We have a body, mind, and spirit. That’s the part of us that will live forever, either in heaven or in hell. Those who believe Jesus is the Christ are filled with the Holy Spirit. He is our Counselor and our Guide. Demons are evil spirits that can enter people as well. They come in when people sin. Constant deliberate sin can cause legions of demons to dwell in people. JESUS is over all names. Demons are cast out of people in His name.

Wait. You NEVER make stupid, uneducated or ridiculous posts?

What fun is that?

I thought posting stupid, uneducated, ridiculous and juvenile statements was at least half the reason for participating in the FR Forums...

Best thing about it was the Krzysztof Komeda soundtrack.

Komeda is a legend in Poland, sadly he died in a car accident not long after the movie.

His album “Astigmatic” is a classic of Avant Garde Jazz.

via a mother who opened herself up to the occult.

So by watching "Rosemary's Baby" she had "opened herself up" to the occult? And your minister friend had to exorcise the baby because her mom watched a movie? I find your anecdote implausible.
