The Movie That Made Me Sleep With the Lights On for a Week
What’s the one movie that left you so rattled you couldn’t shake it for days? For me, it was The Exorcist (1973). I was 15, sneaking a late-night watch on a grainy VHS in my parents’ basement, the kind of rebellious act that feels thrilling until the lights go out. By the time the credits rolled, I was clutching a pillow, my heart pounding like I’d just sprinted a mile, and the idea of sleeping in my own bed felt like a personal challenge I wasn’t ready to face.

That raw, unpolished glimpse into their doomed hike through the Maryland woods didn’t just scare me—it lodged itself in my psyche. Even now, in 2025, with VR headsets and AI-generated scares, found footage horror still makes my skin crawl. Why does this lo-fi genre, born from cheap camcorders and clever marketing, still hold such power?
