The Exorcist, which I read around the time the movie came out, since I was too young to get into the movie, which means I was about 11.

I had gotten in trouble in Catholic school in 4th grade for reading The Ratman's Notebooks (book Willard was based on) during class. I was easily bored by the teach and so spent more time reading books I would hide in my desk. Catholic school 4th grade was essentially a repeat of what I had done in 2nd and 3rd grade in public school in another state, so I had a lot of spare time on my hands. Willard, though, was more icky than scary.
