The Exorcist: Was the Movie Actually Cursed?
About this episode
In this episode of Jack Osbourne's The Most Haunted, Jack explores the real possession case that inspired one of the most terrifying films ever made, The Exorcist. He examines the 1949 case that became the foundation for William Friedkin's film, then investigates the disturbing events surrounding the production, including serious injuries, deaths, a devastating fire, and the decision to have a Jesuit priest bless the set. Jack also explores the paranormal theory of thought-forms and asks whether the intense fear, attention, and belief surrounding The Exorcist could have created something that took on a life of its own. After more than fifty years of people believing in the story, Jack is left with one unsettling question: what if we never really exorcised the demon?
