Yes, it did. People believed to be communist or helping communist causes, or sometimes, even just sympathetic to communists could get themselves into some deep trouble. Some were put on trial. Some were "blacklisted"-- in fact, at least 150 actors, writers & journalists were blacklisted.

Those who refused to answer questions could have several things happen to them. For one, they could held in contempt, for which there were legal penalties. For another, they could be blacklisted by their profession. There were ten Hollywood writers and directors who refused to answer the House Un-American Activities Committee's questions; the "Hollywood Ten" believed it was unconstitutional for the committee to ask them about their political beliefs. They were all blacklisted -- unable to find work, since no-one in Hollywood would hire them; and they were all found guilty of Contempt of Congress, and sentenced to serve between six and twelve months in prison.
