The Exorcist?
It may be the standard of scary movies.
But if the intent of the movie is to actually “Scare” their audience then IMHO, it falls short.
It’s still a great movie, but not scary.
Well, I’ll have to disagree with you. Some what. The Exorcist came out in 1972 I believe when I was 12y.o. Back then Friday night in a small town, all the kids went the movies on Friday night. Our schools were integrated then(just barely) but I didn’t associate with Blacks. But on Friday nights the theater might be 50/50 black/white.
I don’t go to movies anymore. This might have been the 1st and only time that I’ve ever been to a horror movie with a large black crowd. And let me tell you. That was some funny stuff.
The suspense built and built. I mean there were some really tense moments. The crowd was getting restless, as they say. So, like I said, the suspense was building. And when Linda Blair raised up out of the bed and spun her head around, HALF of the Theater suddenly emptied. In about 15 seconds.
I guess you had to be there but it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
Like I said, I guess you had to be there....
I guess you had to be there but it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
So, in conclusion the scariest movie you have every seen was one of the funniest things you’ve ever seen?
