The Exorcist/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


What an excellent day for an Exorcism.

The Exorcist

  • Let's just start with the idea of your 12 year old daughter being possessed by a demon and stabbing herself in the crotch with a crucifix.
    • Don't forget the several flash frames of an insanely evil-looking demonic face.
  • Even the screen tests for the make-up are unnerving....
  • There was one scene that didn't initially involve the demon at all, but was still unnerving. Damien is taking a Subway to visit his mother. While he waits for the train, he is briefly accosted by a homeless man asking for change. While the scene doesn't seem to go anywhere, when he meets the possessed Reagan, the Demon briefly imitates the homeless man to freak him out.

 Homeless Man: Father, can you help an old Altar Boy. I'm a Catholic.

The Exorcist II

  • Father Philip actually punches his way into Pazuzu!Regan's chest and crushes her heart.
