- When I was about 10yrs old I saw "The Exorcist". Since I was on a
- church-going spree at the time, I was convinced that I would be possessed
- by the devil, and I slept on the floor for days so I would avoid being
- thrown around by a jumping bed. I was seriously praying for redemption.
- When I saw the film again years later, I found it more gross than scary,
- but childhood trauma had already done its damage!!!! As I'm sure you can
- see...
-
- Recently I have been unnerved by scenes from "Twin Peaks"-- Laura Palmer
- screaming, and BOB lurking, ect. Especially the one-armed man reciting
- evil poetry while Leiland bashes his head against a cement jail cell wall.
- (The movie was dissapointing compared to the series)
