The film didn't scare me, but the book....OMG. I read it when I was in my teens, not too far from the same age as Regan. I slept with the light on for a month. Then one night I had a dream that *I* was possessed, but my furniture was in a different arrangement than what I really had. I didn't think anything about it at the time, but the next day I rearranged my furniture (not remembering the dream). Well, yep...I arranged the furniture just like in the dream and I never realized it until I went to bed that night. I laid there until about 3 in the morning, scared stiff and wide awake. I finally got up and moved the furniture back to its original arrangement. To this day, that is the scariest book I've ever read.
