The Exorcist (1973) - 50th Anniversary
Episode description
“Mrs. MacNeil, the problem with your daughter is not her bed; it's her brain.”
50 years ago, William Friedkin delivered what is considered by many to be the scariest movie ever made ... and it's the story of a 12-year-old girl. In honor of it's monumental anniversary, The Wives Colangelo are opening sp0o0oky season with THE EXORCIST. Rather than focus on the priests or what the film has to say about the crisis of faith, this is an episode centering on Chris and Regan MacNeil, and what THE EXORCIST reflected about second-wave feminism.
