I imagine the television edit had to be trimmed just a wee bit.

IIRC, I read the book before seeing the movie.

I also had read the book and knew what to expect before I saw it in the theater. Not that scary for me.

What made a lot of viewers uncomfortable and scared was that the original 73 release used subliminal images interspersed through the scenes. Death mask, other disturbing images flashed so quickly that the eyes did not register the images but the brain did.

I’ve never seen it. For some reason I just don’t want to be scared just for the sake of being scared. But I understand the draw.
