    Good question! I’d like to know what the people do for a living. The house today is so ugly in comparison to the film version. Check it out (click pic for larger image):

    I think the owners are sending a message!

    Does a documentary like video (or even pics) exist about the construction of the left wing of the house ?

    I was so obsessed with this at a certain time. lol

    I wish they had kept the old look of the house… That would have been so cool.

    Not obsessed enough to buy it, apparently!

    I mean you didn’t attempt to buy the 3600 Prospect Street house did you? I am sure there are fans out there that would put in a bid.

    You know all the things published, I can’t recall a picture of the crew building the fake facade. I only heard about it and the fact WB paid for the nice wrought-iron fence surrounding the home and the owner wanted it torn down and replaced with her old white-picket fence. DUH! She must have been nuts.

    To Witch of Endor :
    By saying that I was obsessed I meant that I was attracted by the look of the house not by buying it ! lol

    Thanks for the info fatherbowdern 😉

    I didn’t know that the owner wanted the wrought-iron fence to be destroyed after the filming. This fence really matched the facade. As you said, the owner must have been completely nuts by requesting this… O__o !!

    If the owner had half a clue he/she could have made quite a nice dime out of “crazy” Exorcist fans wanting to visit.

    What an idiot.

    iamnoone, probably against local zoning law to erect a “place of amusement” in the area. I’ve heard of people being prosecuted for things like this. Its no joke.

    Ananta79, yes, that was a particular peculiar thing to do because the fence that WB built on the 3600 Prospect lot was quite expensive considering it was made of wrought-iron, brick columns, and, of course, that wonderful “Exorcist” light post.

    WB spiffied the house up to create the illusion of an expensive house that you would expect a celebrity like Chris McNeil would occupy. Today, it looks shitty … IMHO.

    Here’s the picture comparison again (click to enlarge):

    it also looks like wb built a false rooftop as well as the side building, it looks so boring with the flatroof.

    Demondan: I wondered the same thing myself. I thought it was just that the pictures were taken from different angles. Bowdern: We really need to have the two comparison photos to be from the same angle to make it meaningful.
