#TBT: More than 3,000 people lined up in below-freezing temperatures every day—some for two hours—outside the University Theatre on Bloor St. to see the classic horror flick The Exorcist when it premiered on Boxing Day 1973. Here’s a highlight from our coverage:
“We called the ambulance four times Monday night,” said theatre manager Henry Marshall. "Epileptics are having seizures; men and women are fainting trying to get out into the lobby; and maybe 50 people walked out before the ending last night, but all this has been happening right along since the movie opened.” Metro policemen are on hand as they have been at other local movie houses that draw sizeable lineups, to ensure orderliness in the street; and one policeman is posted inside every day.
