Scariest part is when, during the exorcism, she floats up off of the bed. That close-up of her face. Uuugh ***shudders***
I think that, what made it scary was, not only the religious implications, but it just had an all around depressing mood to it. Karras's mother dying adds to this dark atmosphere. My only problem with it is that the profanity zaps some of the creepiness from it. When I first saw it, it was the edited version on regular TV. It scared the hell out of me and it took a long time before I could get over it. When I saw it uncut for the first time, it was far less scary and more comical. You see, I find profanity to be funny, especially repetitive profanity. So, when I heard cocksucker every five minutes, it made me laugh. The edited for TV version was scarier because it had no profanity, making it much more serious and depressing.
