Albert Hitchcock didn't start the chain of horror movies. It was Fredenstein by Travis Edison.

The first horror film was in 1896 Le Manoir du diable (aka "The House of the Devil") which is sometimes credited as being the first horror film. And in 1898 La Caverne maudite (aka "The Cave of the Demons"). Made by Georges Méliès .

I would probably agree that the Exorcist was mostly hype. Everyone knows what the media is like, a few people leave the cinema and suddenly the world was trowing up green puke.

However I would agree that The Exorcist was a scary film at the time. I remember the first time I watched it when I was a child. It did scare me then but I was a child and it was possibly one of the first horror films I watched. It possibly may have effected those with religious upbringings a little more obviously that is just my opinion.

To be honest I dont think I have watched The Exorcist fully since I was a child because for a long time I didnt want to but then it just went out of my mind lol. I think it is about time I watched it again just to see my thoughts on it now.

technically, the first films called 'horror films' were Dracula and Frankenstein (the first public use of the phrase 'horror films' was in a variety article about the two universal pictures). there are certainly hundreds of silent films with horrific motifs or imagery (often to quite funny effect as in Photographing a Ghost, where the ghost won't stay still for the hapless photographer)- but its worth recalling that early kinetoscopes, etc. were gaining popularity during the great Spiritualism revival of the 1890s - interestingly started in Hydesville, NY (i visited the site but there wasn't anything there these days).

as for controversial - I dare say that there were a fair number of horror films that were more controversial - Psycho, by our good friend Fat Albert, created hysteria in the aisles (so great that Sir Albert himself asked the Stanford University psychology department to do a study to figure out why audiences reacted so hysterically and vocally). also, Psycho is almost single-handedly responsible for making people come and watch a movie at a particular time (prior to Hitchcock's gimmick - "no one shall be seated after Psycho has begun" - films were shown on continuous loops - check out really old movie ads and note there are no times for screenings).

outside horror, there are tons of films that were WAY more controversial - the film of the Jack Johnson-Jack Jeffries championship fight in 1912 had Federal legislation passed banning fight films written specifically for it to be prevented from screening (audiences watching a black man beat a white man was SHOCKING beyond belief). Birth of a Nation practically ripped the country in half - Rossellini's The Miracle went all the way to the Supreme Court, etc. etc.

(who says all i do is make irreverent monkey comments?)
