Come on, admit it - did The Exorcist REALLY frighten you all that much?

Maybe in its time, it did quite freak people out. I know as a kid growing up in 1973/74, when I heard all about exactly what happens to the possessed girl, that word of mouth was enough for me to shun even looking at film stills from it. However, as many years have passed, and I have since seen many movies to the point of becoming jaded (yes, jaded, sadly), I think that shock value of that 1973 shocker has lost much of its impact. Nevertheless, there is still something very disturbing in general about the movie's theme, and I still get a bit creeped out when I see pics of Reagan's face.

Do you all feel the same about this movie?
