Line 42:
* [[A Date with 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.
** Special mention must go to the shot where Ellen Burstyn is "thrown" by Regan across the room and her back hits the tallboy. Burstyn to be forcibly thrown and dragged with a wire harness, giving her a spinal injury that's plagued her her whole life. Her scream of pain is real.
** The ''real'' reason Father Dyer is shaking while he's administering last rites to {{spoiler|Father Karras}} is because William Friedkin slapped him just before the take.
** Linda Blair had to endure the freezing cold bedroom set wearing only thin nightgowns.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: A twelve-year-old girl should not sound like Mercedes McCambridge.
* [[Evil Plan]]: ''The Exorcist'' is {{spoiler|Pazuzu's revenge on Fr. Merrin for evicting him from a child in Africa.}}
