I'd seen plenty of horror movies, but most were so out there that I wasn't disturbed after leaving the theater. (how likely is it that dead people are going to come back to life, claw their way out of their coffins and eat us?) But some people believe in demon possession and my husband and I attended a Mennonite church whose minister actually believed in that sort of thing.

My husband and I were very young (we were teenagers) and were seriously frightened by the movie. The night we saw it, we were talking about it in bed when we became aware of a man standing in our bedroom just standing there watching us. Terrified, we asked him what he wanted but he only stared at us. It occurred to us he may be a supernatural being, either a demon or an angel and we started to pray and that gave us the courage to switch on the lamp. There was no man, only something one of us had put on a hanger. It sounds so stupid now but we were trembling and stayed awake most of the night.

I would never let my sons watch that movie!
