Description:

This is the ending credits sequence from an E! True Hollywood Story in which they show a handful of people fainting, getting upset, and reacting to having just seen The Exorcist. Some for the first time, and some trying to watch it again after they couldn't sit all the way through it during their first attempt.

--

Now, tell me that stuff isn't crazy.

That stuff ain't crazy.

Its called fabricated marketing hype.

Great movie, nonetheless.

pornguy · 11-22-2008, 03:34 PM

There was nothing in that movie that could have created that.

You have to think, 1973 was a different time. Now if people started passing out during movies in theaters today, I might call that marketing hype.

It's definitely a great movie.

They say most people pass out during the scene where Regan is in the hospital having tests ran on her. When they put the tube in her neck, and blood starts to squirt out onto her. This movie was definitely hardcore for its time. It showed things people had never seen before. This was before Leatherface, Michael, Freddy and Jason, and all those popular franchises.

The Exorcist terrified me, but mainly because I first saw the movie at a time when I was actively using a Ouija board.

tony286 · 11-22-2008, 04:06 PM

That was the first movie of its kind and it was 1973. I remember my parents friends speaking about it and who were very upset after seeing it,I got nightmares just from hearing them talk about it lol .We are so desensitized in 2008. It is said people fainted and screamed at the first showing of Frankenstein with Boris Karloff.

Now that's good stuff. Having nightmares about something just by someone talking about it.

How did those ouija board experiences go?

It was meh. In retrospect, you can't put much stock in a spiritual tool that you can buy in the board games section of Toys R Us.

I have used a Ouija board with only my Mother and Aunty and let me just say it was 100% the most freaky experience of my life.

It was a different time, but a definite classic movie.

Well I was 15 and it was the first and only time we used one. I was an EXTREME skeptic and as my mother was into astrology and spiritual stuff I thought this was going to be a good opportunity to strengthen my position.

For a few minutes nothing happened and then my mum asked was it possible to speak to her recently deceased mother, my grandmother. Slowly but surely the letters y - e - s were spelled out. I could see goosebumps on everyones arms and there was no chance at all either my mum or aunty were pushing the thing. It just glided over the board moving completely differently then before we started and we all were all fooling around pushing it.

Anyways, we then kept our fingers on it and paused for a minute. My mum then asked what date did her mother died. It spelled out the exact date of her death. Mum asked how did she die and it spelled out c-a-n-c-e-r. My mother and aunty both started crying and nobody, including me, could handle it any more.

I know people will think its all bullshit but it really happened. From that day on I believed in a spirit world and never touched another Ouija board again.

That's a pretty cool story, man. Thanks for sharing.

I watched it in the theater back in 1973. I was a sophomore in high school at the time.
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.

It's definitely a great movie.

No dispute on the fact it was a great film. I still rank it as one of the best that gave me chills when I first saw it. William Friedkin definitely had a creepy vision when he put it together.

But.....

To cause people to faint and freak out...makes me think either those people were a little unhinged to begin with - or it was intentional fabrication on the part of the studio at the time. Otherwise, they took advantage of some lameass people who couldn't control their reactions and swooned the first moment the red light on the camera went on.

(shrug)

Spunky · 11-22-2008, 09:02 PM

My mom took me to that lol..freaked the shit out of me way back when

aico · 11-22-2008, 09:06 PM

Have yet to see a movie as scary since.

DAMNMAN · 11-23-2008, 10:59 PM

My mother went to see the Exorcist when it first came out and when she got home from the movies, she woke me and my brother up and we all slept in the living room with all the lights in the house on. (I was 11) It seriously scared the shit out of her. It was very heavy for it's time.

RedShoe · 11-23-2008, 11:58 PM

Dick Smith did the make-up effects for that movie. Dick is a pioneer in special makeup effects. The guy figures stuff out, then would write it down and send it to any other makeup effects artist that asked for it. HE started a correspondence school, and with his diploma you could land any makeup job in hollywood.

The man is an FX genius.

Dick Smith is hands down the most respected, most well liked, and the greatest makeup artist alive today.
