Why I love it: It’s the fucking Exorcist.
When I was 12 years old my dad and I watched The Exorcist on Halloween night while he helped himself to all the good candy I had scored. Not the stupid raisons or the Special Bars. The Snickers. He earned it, just for being the kind of dad who would show me The Exorcist.
People threw up in the aisles in this movie. They passed out. They were sobbing. They freaked the fuck out. I imagine bibles selling out and church attendance at an all-time high. It’s just a movie, y’all! And don’t act like you’ve never seen a 12-year-old child possessed by the devil screaming the F-word while she’s doing stuff to herself with a crucifix.
