Download The Exorcist : Horror Classic Movie

The Exorcist – Widely regarded as a horror classic, William Friedkin’s adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s novel of a young girl possessed by a demonic spirit had its fair share of creepy tales. The set itself was thought to be cursed after a fire burnt down and destroyed it forcing production crews to rebuild. It is also believed that a priest was asked to come in and bless the set as well as the actors themselves. A handful of cast and crew members are rumoured to have died during production, including actor Jack MacGowan who played Burke Dennings, but perhaps the strangest thing is Linda Blair, who played the possessed Regan, apparently foretold the deaths of crew members’ weeks before.
