“This is definitely my #1 pick; I get chills just thinking about this scene right now. As a young boy, I was a huge consumer of horror movies. There was a videotape store in my village, and I went there, like, almost every day for a period. Those movies were fascinating to me because of what they were, and also because they were forbidden to a little boy like me. I felt like I was crossing the red line watching those horror movies and it was very exciting—that is, until the day I watched The Exorcist.
"That movie just killed me and I was actually unable to watch any horror movies for many, many years after that. Seeing that possessed girl getting out of her room with a completely inhuman and insane walk made me feel like her room was not protecting me anymore; suddenly, the nightmare I was watching -- which was being controlled inside that room -- was now free to go anywhere, including a visit to me. It has been freaking me ever since, so hats off to William Friedkin. You traumatized me!”
