Not really a horror film as such, but there was a mini tv series called Sybil starring Sally Field. About a young girl that was abused by her mother and she had multiple personalities. Based on a true story it was really good but quite an emotional and difficult watch. It stayed with me for a long time after I’d seen it. I’ve searched for it a while ago but I cant seem to find it online anywhere.
I think you are wrong on this, it was definitely available to rent in the early eighties as me and my mate rented it from a video shop. It wasn't a pirate copy.Well, I certainly don't recall seeing The Exorcist legally available in any video shops I ever went into. And I used A LOT of different video shops back then, because at that time it was very expensive to buy films on video and so I used to rent most of them. If it was available, it must have been a "dodgy" video shop, because it certainly wouldn't have had a BBFC age certificate, as it wasn't given one until the late 1990s (1998 I believe).
I COULD be wrong, but somehow I don't think that I am on this...
Yea, video city was the place in my local town that we got the so called video nasties from. Brilliant place. Watched everthing that was banned, I have turned out to be a perfect person apart from an obsession with horror and British 70s comedy.Well, I certainly don't recall seeing The Exorcist legally available in any video shops I ever went into.

I love the word Munters, also known as bog beasts!Horror films? I had chuffin’ nightmares for a
month after watching Se7en at the cinema. Dreams were so bad the next time I went to the cinema was to see Loch Ness: Certificate U! F’n horror films? If I want horror, the first warm day of summer when all the local munters squeeze into clothing several sizes too small with WAY too much flesh on show, is all the horror any bugger could ever handle. Scotland = sun’s oot, taps aff.
my god, yes.. that was some incredible acting from Sally, really showed her real talent. quite a sad, and disturbing story, eh?Not really a horror film as such, but there was a mini tv series called Sybil starring Sally Field.

I jumped in the cinema whilst watching Gothika starring Halle Berry. It was only rated 15. It was quite a small screen so 100% full. The teenager next to me dropped his giant soft drink. Not due to the film, but me...''Sinister'' with Ethan Hawke.... actually made me jump, that one.
I can remember going to the local pub at 16, thinking we conned the barmaids. Untill the police came in one time.I remember standing on tiptoes and asking in my deepest pre-pubescent voice to the woman in the box office for "one for The Fog" in 1980 or 81 whenever it was in cinemas. IIRC it was rated AA which meant you had to be 14. She must have known I was underage but in those days I don't think people were so bothered.
