Horror movies' ability to evoke a physical response in audiences has long been used as part of hyping the genre. And sometimes, the advertisements aren't lying. Here are some horror films that literally made audiences sick.

1973's The Exorcist is a landmark moment in the history of horror. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty, the film stars Ellen Burstyn as divorced actress Chris McNeil. After playing with a Ouija board, her daughter Regan, played by Linda Blair, begins exhibiting bizarre behavior and physical changes. After exhausting all medical and psychological options, Chris turns to Catholic priest Damien Karras for help. Reluctantly determining that Regan's malady is of a supernatural origin, Karras teams with Father Merrin, a veteran exorcist, in a grueling battle of life and death.

The Exorcist's scary effectiveness lies in the seriousness with which it treats its supernatural subject matter. Good and evil are not just ambiguous concepts, but concrete realities in an unending war fought within a young girl's soul. Aside from the film's skillful direction and brilliant cast, the key to The Exorcist's power lies in the artistry of makeup artist Dick Smith, whose nauseating effects are enough to put even the most hardcore horror fan off pea soup forever. It's well-documented that fainting and vomiting were common occurrences during first-run screenings of the film, with some audience members being hauled off in ambulances. And in some theaters, ushers were even issued smelling salts to revive unconscious patrons.
