Horror Movie with most affect in theatre release?
What do you think was the most controversial or affected most people?
My vote goes to The Exorcist. On theatrical release, people protested and threw stuff at the theatres demanding it be removed, many people sustained heart attacks, etc while viewing the movie, a woman had a miscarriage(gave birth pre-maturely) while watching the movie because she was frightened to the fullest extent, the pope wanted the movie to be banned and destroyed forever. There always was an ambulance called to every theatre that played the movie, the movie was then taken out and the full version was banned and never to be seen again until 30 years later.
Ofcourse this is because this was new to them, the people back then never expected to see what they saw, it was shocking and new. Nowadays we are use to this.
What do you think and why?
