It was very chilling to watch and lots of people were screaming and freaking out. I don't remember seeing anyone fainting though.

Not very many movies to compare it with during that time except maybe Rosemary's Baby. The Exorcist was so graphic for it's time and that along with the subject matter made it very intense to watch.

Long after that I'd still get chills when I'd hear Tubular Bells.
