That's the first one that came to my mind as well. I remember seeing the Exorcist when it first came out at a theater in Westweird. To this day, I can't say why it's so creepy, but I vividly recall the chills that ran down my spine as we contemplated taking a short cut down a dark alley to the car, no way, I'm staying in the light!
By coincidence, my brother-in-law and sister took me (age 13) and my cousins (similar ages) to see it on opening day in Westwood. I think we were all permanently traumatized by the experience, but I did buy Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" album at the corner Wherehouse store. Took me a month before I'd play it, though.Trauma II: A few years later at my aunt's wedding, the best man was actor Tom Skeritt. I asked him about his experience stuck with Racquel Welch in a sleeping bag in the film "Fuzz". He gave me the impression that he had better chemistry with a two by four, but he also told me that he just finished a role on a fun sci-fi film called "Alien". So I went to see this "fun" film on opening night and nearly had a heart attack from the suspense.
Interesting coincedence. I'll bet that was a quiet ride home.Alien is up there, certainly for suspense, but I always tend to laugh at monster flicks. OTOH, sharing a sleeping bag with Sigourney Weaver sounds like more fun to me.
