The Exorcist (1973)
One of the most startling films of all time, even today, The Exorcist has many of the most paused moments in movie history. In fact, when the tale of childhood demonic possession premiered in 1973, it even caused some viewers to faint, throw up, or storm out of the movie theater!
While many of the film’s most iconic scenes are rewatched time and time again, there’s one that almost always sees careful pausing. During a dream, viewers are given a glimpse of the demon possessing young Linda Blair’s character. Now, thanks to remotes and home video, fans can see the face clearly, in all its scary detail!
