The making of The Exorcist was surrounded by a disturbing series of accidents, deaths, fires, and unexplained incidents that led some cast and crew to believe the production was cursed. Seven Deadly Sinners explores the strange and allegedly paranormal events behind one of the most terrifying films ever made—and asks whether the horror stayed on screen.
When The Exorcist hit theaters in 1973, audiences were terrified by what they saw on screen—but the stories surrounding the making of the film were almost as disturbing.
From unexplained accidents and injuries to fires, deaths, strange occurrences, and claims of paranormal activity, the production of The Exorcist developed a reputation for being cursed. Several people connected to the film reported unsettling experiences, while others wondered whether the movie’s subject matter had somehow followed the cast and crew off the set.
In this episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we step behind the scenes of one of the most controversial horror films ever made and explore the bizarre, frightening, and sometimes downright inexplicable events surrounding its production. Was the set truly haunted? Was something darker at work? Or did a troubled production, coincidence, and the power of suggestion create a legend that has lasted for decades?
Either way, the story behind The Exorcist may be almost as terrifying as the movie itself.
