The Exorcist tends to go on most people's lists of top ten scariest horror movies, but I have to admit, I never found the movie that scary. Disturbing, yes. Spooky, yes. But it never really haunted my dreams.
Maybe that's because I didn't have a religious upbringing, so it's not taping into any residual trauma such an upbringing can sometimes result in.
Or maybe I just don't fine pea soup that horrifying.
I WILL say this, though. The hospital scenes made me terrified of getting x-rays, which was not a good thing since I ended up having to get a lot at a young age. So let me reassure anyone with the same fears: X-rays are not scary.
MRIs on the other hand...hoo-boy!
(Just kidding. They aren't scary either. Just intensely annoying.)
Watch it at 5pm on IFC.
