I swear I couldn't finish The Exorcist. I know it's shoddy special effects, old, and a little campy, but it's scarier than any new horror movie I've seen. Or maybe just more disturbing.
I'm great with blood, body parts, axe murderers, no problem. I'm not squeamish. But for whatever reason, ghosts and demons...can. not. handle. that. I've been that person that couldn't sleep for 2 weeks after seeing Emily Rose. I'm willing to bet my sleepless nights from Paranormal Activity aren't over either.

100% agree. I saw The Exorcist for the first time when I was 9, and I made my mom turn it off halfway through and put on Father of the Bride because I was so scared that I needed to watch a happy movie. I've since seen the full movie a few times, but each time I'm terrified so I haven't watched it in years. It's her voice that scares me so much.
My mom and dad saw The Exorcist in theatres when they were first married and living in an apartment in Baltimore. The only bathroom was in the basement, and my mom said she was terrified to go down there by herself and shower after seeing the movie, and she was in her 20s.
Paranormal Activity scared me so much that I won't see the second one, even though I want to. I made my boyfriend wake up in the middle of the night for weeks to turn the bathroom light on for me if I had to get up. He's probably happy I won't let myself watch the second one.
Same as you, I can watch any movie about murders/blood/slasher films, whatever. But the second I see something with ghosts, demons, or anything like that, I act like a baby and am too scared to sleep for weeks.
