(William Friedkin, 1973)
Possession, puberty and pea-soup as teenager Regan MacNeil feels the devil inside her.
Danger, danger! Storm-outs and faintings were common at screenings of Friedkin's psych-horror, with one theatre manager complaining, “My janitors are going bananas wiping up the vomit!”
More extreme cases included a man in San Francisco who attacked the screen in an attempt to kill the demon and another who sued Warner Bros after he passed out and broke his jaw.
Much of the trouble was apparently caused by the subliminal insert shots of 'Captain Howdy' – Linda Blair double Eileen Dietz in demon make-up.
