It was different back then, no other 2 films did more to simply freak people out that those 2, not even Rosemary's baby came close.

Yes, I remember that! People DID puke in the aisles!!
Funny you mention the toilet fear. When I started hearing about the "Paul is dead" thing, my parents had fixed up the third floor that year for my brother & I to sleep in, so our little sisters could have the big bedroom on the 2nd floor. Anyway, I don't know WHY or wear the HELL I got this goofy idea, but, many's the night where I was going up to my room on the 3rd floor and I'd JUST start climbing my stairs and would get very scared and RUN up the stairs as fast as I could because I was convinced that, because he was dead, Paul McCartney was going to come after me from my parents room, right across the hall from my stairs, and try to kill me with a huge kitchen knife as I was going up to my room!!!! Thankfully, he never got me!! I was too fast for him!!
