I remember watching Amityville Horror in the movie theater on the big screen. When the little girl walked up on that steep roof, scared the heck out of me lol. (or at least freaked me out)
I was in college when I saw the Exorcist in Indy. It was a weekend and most of the dorm was empty. I slept with a Bible tucked under my pillow…and that’s the truth. When I was able to drive home. I immediately looked for my old Ouija board I had and burned it!
The Passion of the Christ got to me because they didn’t sugar coat the brutality of how awful Christ was tortured.
I was a kid when I saw the exorcist. For weeks I slept with the light on and wouldn’t let my feet hang over the edge of the sofa, same with Salem’s Lot (the original w/ David Soul).
One of my favorites. Also, The Haunting both the 1963 and the 1999 versions are pretty good. I like the acting in the 1999 version better, Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta-Jones
So for those that watched the original exorcist…
So, when the priest at the end saved the day (warning - spoiler coming!) when he threw himself out the window and killed himself and the devil Pazuzu who just possessed him - does this selfless action exempt from the catholic no-no of suicide ticket to hell?
I believe the idea was when Father Karras convinced the demon to leave the body of the girl and possess him instead, he threw himself out of the window to his death with the demon ultimately trapped inside his dead body.
That can a wild conversation right there. I never thought of that. I just assumed he killed himself to kill the devil and save mankind, but it didn’t work out the best. Never thought about the sin of suicide, a true one way ticket, in the express lane, to hell. Wow…nice. Some food for thought
