The Exorcist...
Hitting the big screen in 1973, The Exorcist was packed with unpleasant, and graphic religious imagery, in a way that priests did not want their congregations to see. Never mind the cast and crew claims that the film was cursed: tele-evangelist Billy Graham has said an actual demon lived inside the celluloid reels of the film. Now demons, like the film, are fictional, but that didn`t stop people from having huge issues with the details of the film. In addition to tackling the already controversial Christian practice of exorcism, perhaps the possessed Linda Blair, masturbating with a bloody crucifix might be part of the reason there was so much outrage.
