For what it's worth regarding The Exorcist specifically, I had a film professor who actually stopped showing it in class because people kept falling asleep. His theory was that the paradigm for movies has shifted so much since the seventies (what with jumpscares and all) old horror just isn't horrifying anymore. The pace is too slow.

Never saw the movie, but the book seriously creeped me out back when i read it a couple of years ago! But yeah, I always guessed the movie was maybe a little dated nowadays... I thought Legion was a pretty damn good sequel though. I guess it was more creepy and tense than actually scary, but it has some great moments. The corridor scene has my absolute favorite use of a jumpscare ever :D

I love the book! In a lot of ways I think it's actually creepier than the movie- the spider-crawl scene is based on that scene in the book where Regan spider-walks behind the maid and flicks her tongue at her ankle. It's this screamy moment in the movie, but in the book it's so much creepier because the nanny doesn't know she's there. She just walks into the room, and Chris looks up and sees her.

Plus, I really liked Blatty's prose, so that helped.

Yes, music video-style editing might have killed psychological horror films. Just blame MTV. :P
