The Exorcist controversy

The Exorcist - Trailer (Rare) is a screamer video uploaded my ShortFormCinema.

The video contains the original trailer of the 1963 film The Exorcist, which is the film that contains Regan MacNeil and Pazuzu in it, two well-known figures in the world of screamers. This trailer eventually got banned due to the following reason (which is actually the description of the video itself):

"The original (rare) 1963 theatrical trailer that film executives banned due to the concern that the content within was too disturbing for audiences."

The trailer itself begins with the voice of the demon Pazuzu, together with some uncomfortable music on the background. A taxi stops at the house of Regan MacNeil, the girl who got possessed by Pazuzu. Father Merrick, the person who is being called to save Regan after Pazuzu possessed her, is seen leaving the taxi, with a voice-over on the background saying: "Something beyond comprehension is happening to a little girl on the street, in this house." As the taxi leaves and Father Merrick is about to enter the house, the voice-over contiues saying: "A man has been sent for. As a last resort. To try and save her."

Immediately after that, flashing images of Regan, Pazuzu and Father Karris, the assistent of Father Merrick, appear with very disturbing music on the background. Apparenty, this trailer alone was so disturbing that viewers cried, vomited or even fainted after seeing it. One reason for all of this is that people in 1963, the year the actual movie was released, were not ready for it because of the stunning special effects at the time.
