In the winter of 1973, director William Friedkin released his iconic horror classic The Exorcist, a film that has shocked and terrified audiences for more than fifty years. Based on William Peter Blatty's novel of the same name, The Exorcist tells the story of a young girl who becomes possessed by a demonic entity, and the two Catholic priests who attempt to exorcise the demon. Even more terrifying than the content of the film, however, was the fact that The Exorcist was supposedly based on a true story. William Peter Blatty had always stated The Exorcist was based on a supposedly true story he'd heard while at Georgetown University. According to Blatty, a Maryland boy, known as “Roland Doe,” had become possessed by a demonic entity and, among other things, underwent a negative personality change and began exhibiting impossible abilities including an ability to speak Latin. It was only through the dedication of one Jesuit priest that the boy was eventually freed of his possession and went on to live a normal life.Since the release of both the novel and the film in the 1970s, a great deal more has been learned about “Roland Doe” and the supposedly true story that inspired The Exorcist, raising many questions about the veracity of the original claims. Who was “Roland Doe,” and was he truly possessed by a demon, or just the intense emotions of an adolescent boy?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAllen, Thomas. 1993.

Vi gennemgår forskellene mellem filmens biografversion og Blatty's egen vision, vi vender bogen bag, og diskuterer de mange teorier, symbolikker og skjulte detaljer, der gør netop Legion til en af de mest undervurderede horrorfortsættelser nogensinde.

What a wonderful day to talk about The Exorcist. This week Mike, Brian, and Stephen start our discussion on one of the foundational films in modern horror, 1973's The Exorcist. For the first half of our two parts on this title, your hosts share their initial reactions to this masterwork, as well as how our thoughts on the film have evolved as we've grown older. From there we take a deep dive into the history of the film, including a look at its architects, director William Friedken and writer William Peter Blatty. We explore the exorcism case that inspired Blatty to write his novel, and the challenges in adapting the film without “creating a commercial for the Catholic Church” in Friedken's view. We discuss the brilliant cast, Dick Smith's astonishing makeup and the standout locations. From there we talk about the “curse” of The Exorcist as well as the unconventional and unsafe methods Friedken often employed that put his performers in harm's way. Finally, we explore the cultural impact of The Exorcist on its release as well as its place in horror's pantheon more than fifty years later. It's one of our largest, most in-depth episodes to date, and its only the beginning.

Introduction The exorcism genre holds a unique place in horror, often drawing on themes of innocence, spiritual warfare, and patriarchal power structures. While its narratives are typically formulaic, revolving around a “possessed” figure (often a young girl) and priests arriving to cast out the demon, the genre also reflects broader societal anxieties about bodily autonomy, religious authority, and family dynamics. Many exorcism films lean heavily on cultural tropes, with a few standing out for their engagement with more complex themes or departures from genre norms. Today, we'll explore five significant exorcism films, from iconic classics to new interpretations, analyzing how each interacts with the genre's conventions and challenges them to varying degrees. Here's our list: The Exorcist William Friedkin's The Exorcist (1973) is the foundational work of exorcism horror, causing a stir for its visceral portrayal of demonic possession and controversial religious imagery. The infamous production faced numerous setbacks, often seen as reflecting the turmoil depicted onscreen. This film's critical reception and lasting impact reveal how effectively it tapped into societal anxieties of the 1970s. Exorcist III Written and directed by The Exorcist author William Peter Blatty, Exorcist III (1990) continues the narrative with a fresh perspective, emphasizing psychological horror over shock value. Blatty's direction draws on philosophical themes, creating one of the genre's most introspective entries. Many consider it a more layered and, in some ways, superior work to Friedkin's original. The Exorcism of Emily Rose The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) marks a genre revival that experiments with the "based on a true story" approach. This film combines courtroom drama with horror, exploring themes of faith, science, and institutional power. It questions societal definitions of sanity and the legitimacy of religious experiences in a secular world, creating a nuanced discussion on mental health and belief. Late Night with the Devil The newest on our list, Late Night with the Devil (2023), departs from genre norms by framing possession within the setting of a fictional 1970s talk show. This film is a genre-bending take, blending exorcism horror with cultural satire on sensationalized media, reminiscent of the era's late-night television programming. It plays with the exorcism format while commenting on the media as a modern “exorcist,” claiming to expose dark secrets. Il Demonio (The Demon) As one of the earliest entries in exorcism horror, Il Demonio (1963) is an Italian film often overlooked. It visualizes the exorcism genre's gendered dynamics, with a narrative that intersects spousal abuse, mental illness, and patriarchal control. The film uses demonic possession as a metaphor for the internalized violence faced by women under societal and marital oppression, offering a critical lens on traditional power structures. These films offer a window into not only horror but broader social and cultural anxieties. Each one engages with themes of power, authority, and the societal “other,” reminding us of the genre's unique capacity to critique and unsettle dominant narratives.

Both films feature visions of Hell's intrusion onto earth; two competing and complementary visions of evil, one from a gay British man and the second from a devout American Catholic. Will, Hesse and Brendan go deep on these films, highlighting in Hellraiser some of the most ghoulish practical effects ever put to screen, and in Exorcist III dissecting one of the most infamous jump-scares in film history.

April 27th Author and friend of this podcast Robert Ottone posted a reading, Q&A, and book signing with J.T. Blatty at the Bay Shore Barnes and Noble. Blatty read from her book Snapshots Sent Home, an extraordinary look into her work covering the conflict in the Ukraine. An especially topical subject giving recent world events. J.T. Blatty is a photographer, artist, veteran, and author.
Ranked one of the scariest films of all time. Winner of two Academy Awards. William peter Blatty's The Exorcist is the topic of discussion today.
El mal es un misterio para todos. El creyente sabe por lo menos de dónde viene el bien, pero el mal es un enigma para cualquiera. Aparece en un mundo que Dios crea como muy bueno, cuando entra esa Serpiente antigua (Génesis 3:1), que el Apocalipsis (12:9) llama el diablo o Satanás. En este pasaje del Evangelio se le conoce también como Belcebú o príncipe de los demonios (Lucas 11:15) y Jesús lo compara a un "hombre fuerte que guarda su palacio, armado" (v. 21). Las campanas de ese reino infernal suenan al principio de la canción del grupo australiano AC/DC al comienzo de su disco "De vuelta al negro" (Back In Black 1980) tras la muerte de su cantante, Bon Scott, aunque el guitarristas Angus Young dice que no son satanistas, ni hacen magia negra. El grupo cristiano sueco Jerusalem se expresa igual de duramente en el rock para "Saquear el infierno y poblar el cielo" (Plunder Hell and Populate Heaven) en la canción en que Ulf Christiansson "baila sobre la cabeza de la serpiente" (Dancing On The Head of the Serpent 1987). Es el lenguaje de victoria que usa Jesús para hablar de su triunfo y saqueo del botín del hombre fuerte (Lucas 11:22). El espiritual negro "Satanás, vamos a derribar tu reino" (Satan We´re Gonna Tear Your Kingdom Down) suena con extraordinaria fuerza en la voz de la veterana cantante de góspel Shirley Caesar en la versión que hace en 2016 para la serie Greenleaf. Hay películas que no son lo que aparentan. Cuando uno ve el cartel de "El exorcismo de Emily Rose" (2005) se cree que está ante un producto más de este subgénero del terror que nace con la extraordinaria película "El exorcista" (1973). La obra del evangélico Scott Derrickson es, sin embargo, una curiosa combinación de película de juicios con el relato de un exorcismo ocurrido en Alemania en 1976, que llevó a juicio a dos curas y a los padres de Anneliese Michel. Como en la obra de Friedkin y Blatty de lo que se trata aquí es del dilema de la fe, la realidad del diablo que lleva a la existencia de Dios. Para ello, Derrickson recurre al personaje de la abogada agnóstica que interpreta esa maravillosa actriz neoyorquina que es Laura Linney, que defiende a un sacerdote que encarna el gran actor inglés, ahora fallecido, Tom Wilkinson. Se completa el cuadro teológico con un fiscal protestante, que no cree en la verdad de la posesión- Escuchamos algunas de sus interesantes escenas con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la banda sonora original de Christopher Young. La "Joya coronada de Satanás" es una canción de los hermanos Louvin del álbum de country-góspel "Satán es real" (1959), que ahora canta Bruce Springsteen, pero que hizo ya famosa, Emmylou Harris en 1975. El libro que lleva el nombre del disco es una fascinante biografía sobre estos dos hermanos de educación bautista: uno (Ira) alcohólico, violento y mujeriego, que se caso cuatro veces hasta que una de sus esposas le abatió a tiros cuando intentaba estrangularla, mientras que el otro (Charlie) siguió el buen camino. El remedio a la maligna influencia que anida en nuestro corazón (Lucas 11:27-28) viene cuando escuchamos y ponemos en práctica la Palabra de Dios, como dice la canción "¡Escucha!" (Listen 1981) del grupo canadiense Siervo (Servant), formado en la comunidad hippy cristiana de Jim Palosaari en 1976, que llevó la Revolución por Jesús a Inglaterra.

Documentary photographer and photojournalist and writer Jenn Tuero (J. T.) Blatty graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2000 and served six years as an active-duty U.S. Army officer, deploying with the first troops into Afghanistan following 9/11 and again into Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Since early 2018, she has been documenting the conflict in eastern Ukraine while simultaneously creating photographic/audio archive of the 2014 volunteer soldiers of the Donbas (exhibited in Chicago and NYC in 2019-2020, March 2022 in Kyiv postponed due to the full-scale invasion), the revolutionaries who self-deployed during the original Russian invasion and saved Ukraine's independence. A 2021-2022 Ukraine Fulbright alum, Blatty continues her photojournalistic work in Ukraine and recently completed writing Snapshots Sent Home: From Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine (publication Feb 20 2024), a military memoir that speaks of her journey in Ukraine, the volunteers, and a universal bond between combat veterans around the world. jtblatty.com
The film, "The Exorcist" was based on William Blatty's novel, and a case of possessions that occurred in the 1950s (a case that Blatty looked into himself). However, did you know that there was another source that was used to structure the film version of the book?The Exorcist: The Believer was originally set as a remake but was reshot to be a direct sequel/follow up to the original film. The film features Ellen Burstyn, who will play Chris MacNeil (Regan's mother). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3bdyl2epAUAll songs used in this video belong to their respective owners and I or this channel does not claim any right over them.
In honor of the 50 year anniversary of William Friedkin's terrifying classic, we explore the demented Faith trilogy of writer William Peter Blatty, and go a little Blatty ourselves.

Based on the hit film--just kidding. Blatty's novel was swiftly turned into a landmark film adaptation just a few years after its release. And it's easy to see why: hauntings, sad priests, the patriarchy's fears about the social mobility of women. People couldn't get enough of that stuff. So let's dive in and hope we don't get possessed!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
On this year's Halloween episode we take a look back at William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist III! Based on his own novel, Legion, Blatty directs this belated sequel to the original which stars George C. Scott as Lt. Kinderman, taking over the role from Lee J. Cobb in the first film. An exclusive follow-up will be available on Patreon where we discuss the only other film that Blatty directed, The Ninth Configuration: www.patreon.com/almostcultclassics.
For what it's worth, The Exorcist II The Heretic should have sank the franchise forever. Not many horror movie series recover from being laughed off the screen. But, what Warner Brothers didn't want, Morgan Creek did. James G Robinson was now in control of the franchise, and what he wanted was another Exorcist film. But author William Peter Blatty did not want to do a movie version of his book Legion and sell it as The Exorcist III. Not after The Heretic's bad taste was still lingering. But Robinson was insistent. And after both original director William Friedkin and horror maestro John Caroenter both turned the project down, Blatty figured he should just do it himself. The result is one of the most under appreciated at the time release in horror history. While it wasn't laughed at like its predecessor, The Exorcist III was not embraced upon its release. Listen to Garrett, Matt, and Mik discuss whether this was reception was warranted. And come back next week as they reconvene to talk about director Renny Harlin's Exorcist: The Beginning!
In this episode of the show, we put a bow on our William Peter Blatty's Demonic-Tober by talking about The Ninth Configuration. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us pontificate over how this movie is potentially related to The Exorcist, whether its farcical underpinnings do the story any good, how Blatty may be a bit too pretentious for its own good and much more!

In honor of this spooky season, Dr. Laura Robinson and I sit down and unpack what is often considered the scariest movie of all time... THE EXORCIST. It is Dr. Robinson's favorite scary movie, and you can tell immediately because her passion for it shows in this episode. The Exorcist is definitely one of my Horror Mount Rushmore picks and what I believe to be THE BEST CHRISTIAN MOVIE OF ALL TIME! (hot take alert) This movie didn't just change horror movies, it changed movies and had a profound impact on society at large. We talk about key themes, great scenes, Priests as heroes, how gross and disgusting the special FX are, the novel, William Peter Blatty, The Exorcist: Believer, and how it even influenced the Satanic Panic of the 80's. While the goal may have been to scare the hell out of people, Blatty & Director William Friedkin may just have scared the hell into us.

"The Exorcist" On The 50th Anniversary Of The Film. In 2023, we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the release of the legendary film, "The Exorcist." This supernatural horror masterpiece, which graced the screens in 1973, was expertly helmed by director William Friedkin, and its gripping screenplay was penned by William Peter Blatty. Blatty's script was a faithful adaptation of his own 1971 novel, bearing the same haunting title. The film featured an impressive ensemble cast, led by talents like Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Jason Miller, and Linda Blair. At its heart, "The Exorcist" unfolds the spine-chilling narrative of a young girl's terrifying demonic possession and her mother's desperate mission to rescue her through the ancient ritual of exorcism, administered by two Catholic priests. Our journey through the legacy of this cinematic gem delves not only into the horrors displayed on screen but also the controversies that swirled around its release. Furthermore, we embark on an exploration of the intriguing casting choices, pondering the renowned actors initially considered for the pivotal roles in this landmark film. Above all, our focus narrows in on the real-life stories and individuals who served as the wellspring of inspiration for both the novel and the subsequent movie, illuminating the eerie and unsettling origins of this enduring classic.

THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta)@andoryukesuta The Exorcist (1973) A visiting actress in Washington, D.C., notices dramatic and dangerous changes in the behavior and physical make-up of her 12-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, a young priest at nearby Georgetown University begins to doubt his faith while dealing with his mother's terminal sickness. A frail, elderly priest recognizes the necessity for a show-down with an old demonic enemy. The Exorcist is a 1973 American supernatural horror film directed by William Friedkin from a screenplay by William Peter Blatty, based on his 1971 novel of the same name. The film stars Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Jason Miller, and Linda Blair. The story follows the demonic possession of a young girl and her mother's attempt to rescue her through an exorcism by two Catholic priests. Blatty, who also produced, and Friedkin, his choice as director, had difficulty casting the film. Their choice of relative unknowns Burstyn, Blair, and Miller, instead of major stars, drew opposition from Warner Bros. Pictures executives. Principal photography was also difficult, taking place in both hot deserts and refrigerated sets. Many cast and crew were injured, some died, and unusual accidents delayed shooting. Production took twice as long as scheduled and cost almost three times the initial budget; the many mishaps have led to a belief that the film was cursed. The Exorcist was released in 24 theaters in the United States on December 26, 1973. Reviews were mixed, but audiences waited in long lines during cold weather; the sold-out shows were even more profitable for Warner, since they had booked it into those theaters under four wall distribution rental agreements, the first time a major studio had done that. Some viewers suffered adverse physical reactions, fainting or vomiting to shocking scenes such as a realistic cerebral angiography. Many children were allowed to see it, leading to charges that the MPAA ratings board had accommodated Warner by giving the film an R rating instead of the X rating to ensure the troubled production its commercial success. Several cities attempted to ban it outright or prevent children from attending. The cultural conversation around the film helped it become the first horror film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, as well as nine others. Blatty won Best Adapted Screenplay, while the sound engineers took Best Sound. It has had several sequels and was the highest-grossing R-rated horror film (unadjusted for inflation) until It. The Exorcist had a significant influence on pop culture[3][4] and several publications regard it as one of the greatest horror films ever made. In 2010, the Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."[5]

Se cumplen 50 años desde el estreno de la famosa película “El Exorcista” y coincide con la muerte de su director William Friedkin. Esta película marcó un antes y un después en el cine en el tratamiento de esta temática y también estuvo rodeada de misterios, interpretaciones y explicaciones de su director. Vamos a repasar su historia, iconografía, leyenda y misterio alrededor de esta novela y película que se basó en hechos reales. "El Exorcista" es una novela de terror escrita por William Peter Blatty, publicada por primera vez en 1971. La novela se basa en un caso real de exorcismo que tuvo lugar en los años 40 en Washington, D.C., aunque la historia se ficcionaliza y se dramatiza en la obra. La trama gira en torno a una niña de 12 años llamada Regan MacNeil, quien es poseída por una entidad demoníaca. Su madre, Chris MacNeil, busca ayuda médica y psicológica, pero cuando las explicaciones convencionales no funcionan, acude a la Iglesia Católica en busca de un exorcismo para liberar a su hija del mal que la atormenta. El padre Damien Karras y el padre Lankester Merrin son los sacerdotes encargados de llevar a cabo el exorcismo. La novela de Blatty fue un gran éxito y se convirtió en un bestseller. En 1973, fue adaptada al cine en una película del mismo nombre dirigida por William Friedkin. La película "El Exorcista" es considerada una de las películas de terror más influyentes y aterradoras de todos los tiempos. Su representación visual y auditiva de la posesión demoníaca, junto con su narrativa intensa, la convirtieron en un clásico del género. La historia ha continuado expandiéndose en adaptaciones, secuelas y spin-offs en diferentes medios, incluyendo películas, series de televisión y novelas adicionales escritas por Blatty y otros autores. La temática de "El Exorcista" explora el enfrentamiento entre el bien y el mal, la lucha de la fe y la cuestión de la posesión demoníaca. La obra ha dejado una marca duradera en la cultura popular y sigue siendo un punto de referencia en el género de terror, así como un objeto de análisis sobre la naturaleza de la creencia, el miedo y la religión.

The definitive, fascinating story of the scariest film ever made and its enduring impact in Hollywood and beyond-from the director's biographer comes a must-read for horror fans and cinema buffs, just in time for the movie's 50th anniversary and the release of the first movie in a new Exorcist trilogy. Includes a foreword by John Russo, author and cowriter of the seminal horror film Night of the Living Dead. On December 26, 1973, The Exorcist was released. Within days it had become legend. Moviegoers braved hours-long lines in winter weather to see it. Some audience members famously fainted or vomited. Half a century later, the movie that both inspired and transcends the modern horror genre has lost none of its power to terrify and unsettle. The Exorcist Legacy reveals the complete story of this cultural phenomenon, from the real-life exorcism in 1949 Maryland that inspired William Peter Blatty's bestselling novel on which the movie is based, to its many sequels, prequels, TV series, and homages. Nat Segaloff, biographer of the film's director, William Friedkin, draws on original interviews with cast, crew, and participants as well as revelations from personal papers to present an intriguing and surprising new view of the making of the movie, and its aftermath. Segaloff also examines as never before the keys to the movie's enduring appeal. Friedkin and Blatty's goal was far more ambitious than making a scary movie; they aimed to make people "think about the concept of good and evil." The Exorcist succeeds, and then some, not just by creating on-screen scares, but by challenging viewers' deepest personal beliefs-and fears.

We recorded ourselves reading a short scene from The Exorcist to A) demonstrate what altering sound design around dialogue can do to change the meaning of the scene and B) prove to ourselves that we actually should be hosting this podcast in the first place. Because that's something you do 62 episodes in.
Tale as old as time. No, not Beauty and the Beast: a story of bestiality and Stockholm Syndrome thinly veiled as a romance for the ages and cleaned up and sanitized by Disney for your viewing pleasure. No not that one, I am talking about a much older story: that of the eternal struggle of good vs evil. This theme is woven in the threads of almost all our stories at some level. If you are a Christian or even if you are familiar with Christian iconography, these are personified as the omnipotent creator and one and only God and Satan, the fallen angel and devil himself. In 1971, a humorist named William Peter Blatty published a horror novel that would be turned into a movie often dubbed the most terrifying film of all time based on this exact struggle. That novel and subsequent movie was, of course, The Exorcist. Spoiler alert: The Exorcist tells the story of an innocent young girl who becomes possessed by a demon after she uses a Ouija board and of the Catholic priests who exorcise said demon after must persistence and turmoil. Good triumphs over evil and there is much rejoicing. Where on Earth did Blatty come up with such a dark and disturbing story? Well, as it turns out, he did not need to look too far. The idea actually came from of an article he read in a Washington newspaper. This article was about the supposed real-life possession and exorcism of a young boy in 1949. Blatty was all in – he changed it from a boy to a girl and dramatized the events and the horror movie industry was never the same. So why are we at the Some Weird Podcast doing a whole episode about this? Simple: the real story was far more terrifying. Nowadays, the tagline “Based on a true story” is pretty loose but if we are to believe the diaries of the priests who were there in 1949, we can certainly say that truth is stranger than fiction or, if you are a Newfoundlander like us, we can certainly say that true story that inspired The Exorcist is some weird.
