Apparently Mego is doing an Exorcist figure.

I hope her head spins and smoke comes out her mouth😱

Someone already did a spinning head version (on the bed). Don't remember if it was MacFarlane or NECA.

[Doh!]

Neca! I have one but this isn't my video:

The NECA Regan is fantastic.

Thank you for posting this photo, Anton. Being a fan of the film and book, this will be a great addition to my Exorcist collection. The late, William Blatty wrote an excellent book. In which I feel Mr. Blatty's book is better than the film. Nevertheless. The Exorcist film is not for everyone.


The Conjuring(2012) is an excellent film.

These reactions were annoying.

I'm late to this thread, but I would say the Exorcist is the best horror film of all time. It's the Godfather of horror films imo. Notice I said "best" not "favorite" (although it is one of my favs). If we're talking "favorite" then my favs are always gonna be the Universal, Hammer, Toho, and Vincent Price films. But if we're geeking out about cinema, then the Exorcist is it. This isn't a hot take obviously. As others point out, it was extreme---i think that's the point. If we're no longer talking about evil as a philosophical or metaphysical concept but as an actual material and bodily manifestation, then presumably it would be ugly and distasteful.

Doesn't mean audiences have to find it enjoyable of course. I recognize "Last House on the Left" as an important and classic film, but I won't watch it again because of the sexual assault scene. Sexual assault and cruelty to animals are usually my thresholds. I've made exceptions  but I usually avoid films with prominent scenes of either act. Sorry to digress, just saying I respect people who find the Exorcist unwatchable, even if they recognize it as a quality film.

Mars: I enjoy the book too. One thing I like about it is it leaves more to your imagination. It's more ambiguous if I recall. In other words, is this a spiritual problem or psychological issue? The film makes it totally clear this is a spiritual/supernatural attack. Still, I would argue it's one of the few examples where the film is better than the book (Jaws and The Godfather two other examples where film is better imo). The book is still great though.
