The Exorcist, upon its release in 1973, had such an effect on the audience that moviegoers threw-up, ran out, had nightmares so bad that it created stess for them during their waking hours affecting their normal everyday lives. The only movie that had this much effect on peoples lives was Jaws (creating a new fear of going into the water, causing businesses around beach areas to loose money). There is no other film in history that created such hystaria.
Remember, this movie is over 30 years old and alot of desensitation to the "younger generations" have happened since then. The fact still remains that it's still a movie, and had an effect on audiences, that that has never been duplicated...ever.
