Re: The Exorcist...I saw that when I was a very young, naive 18/19 year old extremely sheltered Catholic girl...and it scared the bee-gee-bees out of me. I couldn’t go to sleep for the first several nights after without the lights being on. That was in the mid 70s...I’ve not watched/seen it since. Don’t care to.
I just remember the SNL version with Richard Pryor:
“The bed...must be...on the floor....The bed...must be...on the floor...”
“THE BED...IS ON...MY FOOT....THE BED...IS ON...MY FOOT...”
I didn't see it at the movies when it first came out, I read the book. It scared me too, and I'm not Catholic. I was afraid to read it at night. I remember being freaked out with the girl coming crawling like a spider into the room. I put the book down for days because I was so frightened.
