The making of this movie is such an interesting one because it was such a troubled shoot. First of all Jamie Lee Curtis was originally pursued for the role of Reagan, the director was a notorious A hole on set and kept the temperature of the bedroom set freezing cold to get an authentic effect of the actors breaths during the exorcism scene. He shot guns out of nowhere to get genuine scares out of the actors, injured Linda Blair and Ellen Burstyn’s backs and used their reactions as the takes you see in the movie. Linda Blair actually developed scoliosis later on in her life due to the injury she sustained.

This movie is still the greatest horror film ever made. Great reaction! 👍🏿

[@ElCactus7567]

That figure he found in the beginning is the same figure in the state, which is of a Mesopotamian Demon named Pazuzu. Fun fact, he was used to ward off lesser demons in Mesopotamian culture and, more specifically, was a protector of pregnant woman and mothers. I'm sure there's more stuff about it that ties into the movie, and the themes of the film. I just recently learned that and it made me look that the film a bit different. There are some pretty good videos that go deeper into explaining the themes of the film.

[@d.w.strangeman4963]

Wondered if anyone would mention this. From a Demonology point of view(obviously not science) Lamasthu is the most likely to possess with Pazuzu calling for Merrin to help Reagan. In some religions effigies of Pazuzu are still worn by pregnant women, like a St. Christopher to ward off evil spirits. A life size version, like in the film would never be used as it would make them an idoloder bringing them to life. Apparently 😬

[@Allonsy305]

I still remember seeing the footage audience reactions from walking out of the theater in the past when this came out. Honey they were NOT READY. We are now so used to the possessed girl trope, this film started it back then and it was during the satanic panic era, so no wonder people were fainting, crying, and screaming out of the theater.

[@hopet7090]

“We’ve gone to far” the way I knew it was probably THAT scene. I didn’t watch this movie until last year. And my mom always told me she left the movie theater at that scene. I still wasn’t prepared

[@ESJAY0198]

This movie came out in 1973. The first of its kind. The OG. First horror movie nominated for an academy award for best picture and was nominated for 10 academy awards. Should've won Best actress Ellen Burstyn, best supporting actress Linda Blair, best supporting actor Jason Miller, best director William Friedkin, best special effects, best make up, best editing, best sound and best movie. It won for Screenplay and Audio. But robbed of the others. It was Jason Millers and Linda Blairs first movie. And Friedkin won the Oscar for best director the year before with the French Connection. The book was a huge success and great. And there's no connection to Damien in the Omen. 👍🏾

[@prettybxy77]

You gotta read up on the real exorcism case behind this movie. It was a teenage boy rather than girl, referred to as Roland Doe, who lived in Baltimore. The house is still standing and is very haunted.

When I tell you "Shake Shake Shake, Shake the Devil Off" took me out! WHY did you bring that Baptist memory out of my sinning mind's archive?! Glad you survived the OG horror gorlie. Pazuzu is the figure/statue Merrin saw at the beginning and when Regan and her friend played with the ouija board, they opened a spiritual door that invited the demon in. And the behind the scenes stories are wild. That "hot" male nurse was a real life serial killer (Paul Bateson).

[@zulby09]

This is a true story. My mom and my 2 elder sisters used to bring my brother and I to watch The Exorcist when I was only 5 years old in first year of kindergarten. Most of the time I felt a bit bored and bothered my mom for snacks or just to gain her attention. Only 3 scenes made me stop and watch: the opening desert scene with the red blood movie title; the crucifix masturbation scene; the final exorcism scene. My sisters were annoyed and complained to mom that I don’t know how to watch a movie in a cinema. Almost 2 decades later, I gained respect for this vintage classic as a young adult who is also a movie buff. So when it was playing on tv close to midnight I recorded on vhs tape but since there were commercial ads the original duration is inflated. I let the tape continue recording the show In Living Color after the Exorcist ended until the tape ran out. One fine day, my parents were out sleeping over at my sister’s house leaving me all alone at home at night. I am not insane enough to watch The Exorcist in such situation but I needed to reel the tape fast forward in order to access and watch In Living Color. I remember of fast forwarding only about 2 hours and 7 minutes then press play on the remote control. Imagine my horror and shock when the scene that exploded on tv at cranked up volume was that of Regan roaring and sticking her tongue at the 2 priests. That completely freaked me out; I turned off the tv and turned on all the lights that night while sleeping. It’s ok if I watched it from start to finish but not smack right in the middle of a scene

[@Kayleighgrace23]

The crucifix what😭😭

[@salli3929]

This is one of my all time favorite horror movies. It holds up well and still shits all over anything that came after it. Wish I could have seen this in theater back then, I imagine it was an experience! You could combine your found footage journey with possession films, and watch The Last Exorcism. Best of both worlds right there!

[@RZK1966]

I remember when this was in the theaters people were running out of the theater in fear.

[@cherylsims5636]

I saw this in theatres when it came out and was about 12 years old too. There were protestors outside of the theatres protesting the movies language and graphic violence. You must understand there was nothing like this before. During performance one person got up screamed and ran out one guy vomited right in the isle by me. There were similiar incident all over the country The movie was banned in many towns across the country. The figure head dug up was what ""Evil against evil" and Father Merrick was taking nitro pills for his heart. There is a movie called the Dominion which is Father Merrins life before this one. its pretty scarry of itself Ouja board went out all over after this. We used to play with them all the time u just must tell spirts firmly GO when done playing we never had trouble.

You picked up on some interesting stuff i didn't expect. Like the fact that Father Dyer is gay, and probably felt "more than brotherly" towards Damien. Some other stuff i feel like you brought with you from _later_ horror movies making elements of this movie into tropes. Which isn't _really_ a bad thing. _But_ i will say this: The movie opens with a call to prayer, and is deliberately made to feel documentary-like. Neither of these were coincidences.

I think in the beginning when Merrin finds that figure, he KNOWS it means the demon will be possessing someone again. The other priests mention how he almost died in a previous exorcism. The demon also knows the name Merrin. To me the implication is that this has been an ongoing battle between Merrin and this particular demon. At the end, Merrin knows what he's dealing with and the demon knows who it's dealing with, Karras is the one who is kind of clueless.

[@randallknapp7528]

It is good to watch this with the director comments.

[@DalilahR]

JAY: Something most reactors miss is this: The reason Regan's head spun around facing backward and then she spoke in the film director's voice with the English accent ("Did you see what your cunting daughter did?") was to let Mom know Reagan killed the film director, Burt Denning, and twisted his head around facing backward to convince Mom to pursue the exorcism so the demon could pursue its main target for possession, Father Damien Kerris, which it got in the end but lost when he committed suicide - so the demon won & lost at the same time.
