Line 15:
* [[I Am Not Spock]]: Linda Blair.
* [[Religion Is Magic]]
* [[Religious Horror]]: The first movie was part of a cycle of "[[Creepy Child|demonic children]]" movies that started with ''[[RosemarysRosemary's Baby]]'' and continued with ''[[The Omen]]''.
 
== The Novels ==
Line 32:
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: ''[[Repossessed]]'', starring Leslie Nielsen and Linda Blair [[Adam Westing]].
* [[Big No]]: Karras just before {{spoiler|he kills himself to prevent Pazuzu, who has gone inside of him, from killing Regan.}}
* [[Brown Note]]: [http://theexorcist.warnerbros.com/cmp/silencebottom.html Many sound effects were put in (sometimes deep in the mix) to make it more unsettling] - for instance, pigs being herded for slaughter and [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bees|angry bees]].
* [[CAT Trap]]: As one transcript puts it, "a huge machine, two pieces on either side of Regan's head and a piece above."
* [[Christianity Is Catholic]]: Justified. Any reference to the original Lutheran clergy that Regan's mom consulted was left out, perhaps because Lutherans have no exorcism tradition.
Line 39:
'''Regan/Demon:''' [http://www.btinternet.com/~schwa/fuckme.wav Fuck me! Fuck me!] }}
* [[Confessional]]: A field confession occurs at the end of the first movie.
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: probably the most horrifying and disgusting example ever filmed.
* [[Daylight Horror]]: Most of the scariest scenes happen during the day; notably, the head-spinning scene.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Many times. The director was kind of a wingnut about that.
Line 112:
* [[Ceiling Cling]]: There is a very creepy moment where an old woman skitters by the protagonist... on the ceiling.
* [[Confessional]]: A brutal murder occurs in one offscreen.
* [[Death Byby Adaptation]]: {{spoiler|Gemini's Father}} is a Type 2 example. In Legion, the novel this installment was based on, {{spoiler|he dies of natural causes, and his death causes the Gemini to lose all his motivation because he can no longer bring him shame and grief}}; in the movie, {{spoiler|he was the Gemini's first victim; after this, the Gemini kept on murdering so he could figuratively continue to kill his father forever}}.
* [[The Dragon]]: The Gemini Killer to the evil spirit who is helping him.
* [[Dream Sequence]]. ''The Exorcist III'', for [[Nightmare Fuel]].
