I saw the spider-walk scene when I was in high school and refused to watch the movie ever since. I was at a friend's house and sat down briefly in the living room because the family was watching The Exorcist. They told me it was a scary movie, then the spider-walk happened... I remember the feeling of being so terrified! I couldn't even say anything and just walked out of the room feeling cold. I am happy I was able to watch it finally though! Thanks for requesting this!

OMG LOL This is gonna be fun. You guys crack me up sometimes when your scared. Although, I am a little nervous with this one, hoping this one doesn't turn out to be too much for you. This movie freaks a lot of people out, and I mean more than most. I usually end up knowing a lot of trivia about most movies, but surprisingly I don't know a lot of things about this movie. I do, however, remember one thing. In the scene where she was whipping back and forth on the bed, the actress broke her back. For real. Can you imagine? That would be it for me. I'd be telling them they can get another actress, haha. Off to watch...

Yass,yass, YAAAASSS! Its finally here! This is an early Halloween treat for me and I cant wait to watch this movie with you guys! And for Dawn: the directors last name is actually pronounced Freed-kin. Fun Fact: William Friedkin is actually one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite directors and The Exorcist is actually Quentin's favorite horror movie. People wonder what Quentin's last film is going be since he is on record saying he plans to only direct a set number of films before he calls it quits, some speculate it may be a final Kill Bill, but he has always said that one of the things he would have liked to do is make a horror movie like The Exorcist, If you really want to see the actiony impact William Friedkin had on Quentin though you need to see The French Connection, another highly celebrated movie from the 70s directed by Friedkin. It was actually watchin The French Connection that led to William Peter Blatty (the writer of both the novel and the screenplay for The Exorcist) wanting Friedkin to direct The Exorcist. Other fun historical tidbits of this film: The Exorcist was the first and until Get Out the only horror movie to receive a Best Picture Oscars nomination. This was after at first being almost never released, to then almost receiving an X rating which at the time would have limited it to seedy adult movie theaters. To then only being released in a limited run in a limited number of theaters until the lines and lines of audiences convinced the studio executives to add more and more to the point one studio executive said, “it was like we could never add enough theaters“; this while facing societal backlash, from Billy Graham publicly denouncing the film saying, “there is a power of evil in the fabric of this film!“ And some critics dismissing it as, “new vulgar lows in cinema“ and “religious porn.“ It went from initially getting such mixed reviews that even the good reviews seemed to end on a bad note, like Roger Ebert famously giving it 4 stars out of 4, but ending the review with, “but I don't know what reason anybody would have to want to see this picture, certainly enjoyment wouldn't be one of them“, to it becoming the highest grossing horror movie of all time when adjusted for inflation and receiving many Oscar nominations including for directing, writing, editing, cinematography, art direction, best sound and multiple for acting. All special effects happened in front of the camera in real time, no post production opticals were used and they along with the films sound design (one of its Oscar wins being for Best Sound) were unique and innovative for its time. Unfortunately some of the actors misery was legitimate because the stunts and conditions they had to work through were crazy, I would list them all here but this post is already large enough as is lol, but you know how you can see the actors breaths at points in the house? They were actually inside a refrigerated room. Linda Blair had to act through such cold wearing only her nightie and says thanks to that experience to this day she hates feeling cold to any degree. Max Von Sydow said, “it was very difficult to act facially because my face was so frozen.“ Those shots at the start actually were shot on location in Iraq, which was not something done at the time. William Friedkin said that they wouldn't allow them to film there at first, but then relented under one condition, “if we showed them how to make fake blood. What for? I don't know, but that was the condition and so we did and they let us film in Iraq.“ Crazy stuff lol. And oh the crazy happenings that plagued the production, from stuff happening to the set itself like it mysteriously catching fire one day where the firefighters never came to a satisfactory conclusion as to what could have started the fire, to many people involved in the production sadly either dying themselves or having members of their family dying during or shortly after the production of the film. I could go on and on and may do so in a separate comment after watching the reaction. :P The making of the movie is just as interesting as the movie itself, in fact they really should make a movie out of it! It would be a great story of unlikely success through turmoil. strife and seemingly insurmountable odds and obstacles. The most neat fun fact IMO: all this was only started because a comedy writer ran out of work and decided to give writing a serious drama a shot. 😁

This film has been described as the scariest film of all time. Visually, I think we've seen scarier, especially as technology and special/practical effects have evolved. There are parts of the film that are slow and it takes place in daylight a bit too much, in my opinion. But it has a case for being the scariest ever because the concept is absolutely terrifying, and it might be the only all-time great horror film that takes itself 1000% seriously. And in 1973 this was definitely the scariest thing people had ever seen. I mean, people were fainting in theaters and medical help had to be called. The legacy of this film is that it basically created so many horror films that were to come. The supernatural element, possessions, hauntings, something's wrong with the house. It set everything up. In terms of influence, it's right up there with The Godfather, Jaws, Star Wars, you name it. Father Merrin was played by the late great Max Von Sydow. You saw him recently in Shutter Island. It was a joke that he'd been 70 years old for 40 years because the prosthetics and makeup in this film were so great. He legitimately looked like a 70-year-old even though he was only in his early 40s Thought you handled it quite well. Just a bit of information, the sound that you hear after the credits early on isn't singing. It's the Islamic call to prayer.

What you said about the slow build up and too much daylight was actually done with purpose. It has to do with William Friedkins background as a documentary director; his approach wasn't to direct a spooky movie in a spooky way in a spooky setting, as he said, “this isn't a film about Dracula. This isn't a film about the alien. This is a film about people who live up the street; its about a real street in a real town with real people living in it and in this house and upstairs on the third floor of this house is a real little girl.... who happens to be possessed by a demon.“ The most horrific element to me in the film are the human elements more so than the supernatural. One of them being that this was just a mother and daughter who have a happy close relationship together with all the advantages, thanks to the mothers career as a wealthy successful actress when suddenly this awful thing happens to them that cant be explained and no one seems to be able to help them with. Think of the mothers desperation, being far from home, suddenly having her otherwise sweet, healthy and innocent young daughter suffering through some extreme affliction that is slowly and painfully stripping away everything she knew her daughter to be with no help in sight even with all the money she has to spend on the best doctors around. That's the main driving point of the terror, which is why the bulk of the film focuses on the people and slowly develops their situation (and in fact more scenes that were cut but couldn't be put back in the film because the sound masters for those scenes were lost and couldn't be found revolved around spending more time with Chris and Regan) and why the big supernatural showdown only happens at the end. If you look at the last shot of Chris' face, Regan's mother, just as Father Merrin closes the door to er room just before the exorcism is about to start she has a look of a mother at her wits' end, desperately hoping that this last desperate act will be the thing that finally helps and saves her little girl. That is one of the things I love about The Exorcist is the total vision involved in the planning and execution of the film where everything was done with a purpose and for the sake of the story, even the gruesome, graphic scenes had such purpose, where in most horror movies they're just done gratuitously and for shock value alone.

You're right. You watch Friedkin's movies and they have a documentary feel to them. I just think in the case of The Exorcist, it's one of the things that haven't aged that well, and one of the reasons why audiences nowadays aren't THAT scared of the film. As I said, the concept of the film, how seriously it takes itself, and the fact that it tries to be completely based in reality, are the arguments that can be made for it being the scariest film ever. In terms of visual impact, it has been left behind by horror films that came after it, which is only natural.

That is a fair point, but I would argue that the audiences nowadays are more to blame for that than The Exorcist. Today's audiences think of one term when you say the words horror movie: jump-scares.

At the time it was horrifying but now we have scarier films and have become desensitised. It's still a classic and Linda Blair was magnificent, especially for her age. The scene where she got 'cross' with herself is still shocking in today's time. Besides now we have stuffed cheetah therapy so horrors are less terrifying.

The demon was Pazuzu "In ancient Mesopotamian religion, Pazuzu (Akkadian: 𒅆𒊒𒍪𒍪, romanized: pà.zu.zu; also called Fazuzu or Pazuza)[1] was a personification of the West Wind, and held kingship over the lilu wind demons. As an apotropaic entity, he was considered as both a destructive and dangerous wind, but also as a repellant to other demons, one who would safeguard the home from their influence. In particular he was protective of pregnant women and mothers, whom he could defend from the machinations of the demoness Lamashtu, his rival. He is invoked in ritual and representations of him are used as defense charms. Hanpu is his father. He has many a connection to other wind deities, namely Lamashtu and the Lilû demons, other protective demons, as well as the foreign Egyptian dwarf deity Bes"

I just wish she'd levitated in front of the doctors. "The frontal lobe can cause muscle spasms that propel a person into the air and such powerful micro flaps of the arms that the body can hover....."
