Line 62:
* [[Take Me Instead!]]
* [[That Thing Is Not My Child]]: Literally, in Chris' impassioned speech to Father Karras.
* [[Troubled Production]]: William Friedkin was on full [[Prima Donna Director]] mode, [[Bad Boss|abusing the cast and crew]] (see also [[Enforced Method Acting]] above) and leading the film over budget and past schedule. To make it worse, incidents such as a fire and the deaths of two actors lead people to believe the set was cursed.
* [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: ''The Exorcist'' was inspired by an actual exorcism performed in a Jesuit hospital in St. Louis.
** Also, Pazuzu was not simply a name invented for the books/film. It's the name of an evil demigod/demon in ancient Mesopotamian mythology who ruled over [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|disease, pestilence, and the heat of the mid day sun]].
