On Boxing Day, December 26, 1973, The Exorcist was first screened in American theaters. As the year turned and became 1974, the horror film would be seen across the world amassing an enormous following and becoming the highest grossing film at the time; undoubtedly one of the most recognizable and respected horror films in history. A classic in every sense of the word.
The Exorcist is now a staggering 35 years old, and on behalf of all registered members and those who frequent The Exorcist Fansite, we’d like to thank William Peter Blatty, William Friedkin and everyone involved with the film for bringing the timeless story to the world.
2009 will see the 35th Anniversary Blu-ray release of The Exorcist with all new features, as well as many other hidden surprises for Exorcist fans.
On a personal note, I’d like to thank all who support captainhowdy.com and appreciate the efforts behind it. Without you, it simply couldn’t exist. Wising you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Regards,
Captain Howdy
