My folks had The Exorcist paperback book and even the cover photo of the demon used to scar the hell out of me. I would not read it. I had to flip the book over if I saw it.
Then there was this sadistic old lady baby-sitter which could tell stories about ghosts, occult and paranormal phenomena, just to see how freaked out a kid could get.
That era in America was wild. The movie was just so over the top. People getting sick and fainting. The music also seemed to have an evil to it. It may only be by association, I don't know. It was the first hit record for the new label Virgin and became the cornerstone of early success. I the first pressings are audiophile grade stuff.

Yeah, I've seen that movie so many times, including the uncut version. I remember being at a party once where the film was being shown. Some people (who had never seen it before) were making fun of how not scary it was...but soon enough, those same people were so scared they left before seeing half of it! hahaha. The sequels/prequels were hit or miss. Had a few interesting moments, but meh. You should watch this Dinosaurs episode that is a spoof of The Exorcist:
Since it's YouTube, the audio and video may be messed up, so if you need to look it up elsewhere, here's the info:
It was interesting to see the 1973 documentary about how scared the people were at the theatre. They tried to explain that it was the Catholics that were the most troubled by the movie. The fact that people would wait four hours and at times out in the snow but then run out of the theatre was interesting.
People had never seen effects like that too. In all it was a much more innocent time when folks had a different level of what scared them. Then came Evil Dead which was scary in it's own way.
If you contemplate both movies, you come to realize that Evil Dead would never exist if they had not made The Exorcist first.
Interesting too, I've talked with Cathloic priests about it and they say it never ever happens and it's 100% Hollywood?
Found the paper interesting but you can tell the guy was very proud of himself like he only wanted to talk about certain bands. I know the subject of BM advancing is a giant, giant subject but the writer only talked about the bands he wanted to, like only they were the changers, when in reality he left out 98% of what really took place. His complete fragment of knowledge is to him complete when it is not and misleading to him himself.
Example: He goes on about his timeline from 93-95 to 2000 and mentions two or three bands, not really saying anything but hot air. He goes on later and backtracks with a couple bands but never going into exactly why or how they changed the scene, basically a name dropper. Truthful in that Burzum reinvented himself later on but I guess that name was not obscure enough to make it into his talk even though he single handedly invented atmospheric BM. Ah? A slight move forward, slightly??
A person shouldn't write an article like they think they know what they are talking about when clueless. Literally it does not even qualify as a persons opinion it's so simplistic.
To prove my point my next post will be my top 50 albums that moved it along.
