![]() Millions of dollars over budget and tales of people dying on set, it is now common legend that The Exorcist production was cursed. ![]() In 1972, production on The Exorcist would begin– and what a famous production it would become. Blatty would go on to write the screenplay and William Friedkin, fresh from his film highly acclaimed and award winning film The French Connection, was brought on to direct. ![]() It became a best-seller and was quickly optioned by Warner Brothers to be developed into a motion picture. What started as a developing story in a newspaper about a possessed boy inspired William Peter Blatty to pen the novel. The film is such that everyone always remembers where they were and who they were with when they first saw it. I was 14 when I first saw it, and it is something that I will never forget. In one swift viewing, The Exorcist restored my faith and opened the door to a world of films that I didn’t yet know existed. No film before or since has been able to catapult me to such heights of fear, doubt and terror. I’d give anything to be able to see this film for the first time all over again. I might even write a complete review one day… This entire website alone says how crazy I am about this film, no? I’ll continue to pack this particular page and (and of course the whole website) with Exorcist paraphernalia while writing commentaries about the film and including snippets as I go. I wouldn’t dare try to put into words how passionate I am about The Exorcist.
