Happy Anniversary to THE EXORCIST, which premiered in theaters on this day 50 years ago in 1973.
The Exorcist is the scariest movie ever according to a huge survey among viewers.

50 years ago, a film came out that was a huge success...and scared the hell out of those who saw it.
Today it is still considered one of THE great horror films.
The Exorcist.
My thoughts on the film.

After finishing The Exorcist, back into the story with a reread of William Peter Blatty’s sequel (you hear that Blumhouse!), Legion.
It is very rare for me to revisit books I have read before. But the next few on Kindle will be re-reads, starting with William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist.
Remembering the Oscar winning American novelist, screenwriter, producer and director #WilliamPeterBlatty (1928-2017), born in Manhattan #OnThisDay. His background was in satire and comedy but his 1971 novel #TheExorcist sold 13 million copies and his own adapted screenplay resulted in the most successful horror film of all time. Less commercial but subversive and witty were his two films as director - The Ninth Configuration (1980) The Exorcist III (1990), both adapted from his own bold novels.
"Something beyond comprehension is happening to a little girl on this street, in this house..." #OnThisDay in 1973, Warner Bros. released William Friedkin's #TheExorcist in American cinemas. Adjusted for inflation, it remains one of the ten highest grossing films of all time at the U.S. box office. No Hollywood horror movie since has matched its impact, culturally or otherwise.
#ThisNightIllWatchYour 'Director's Cut' of #WilliamPeterBlatty's #EXORCIST III or 4k release of #BrianDePalma's BODY DOUBLE? Hmmm....
