I don't need to -- it just comes to me. ;)
One night while in D.C., Mr. H.R. and I ate a WONDERFUL meal at "1789" in Georgetown. We exited the restaurant and began a climb down a flight of stairs toward a main thoroughfare to catch a cab, when Mr. H.R. gently said, "You know, Honey, that these are the exterior stairs from the movie, The Exorcist. These are the stairs that the priest fell down."
I almost fell down them myself at that point and didn't sleep a wink that night.
Go suck a lemon.
That movie was based on a woman who lived in Culver City Ca *where I grew up) who was being raped by a ghost...
That is kinda spooky!
KMA.
What happened to Elvira?
Same thing.
It was actually a young boy in ST LOUIS MO. (based on a true story)
You are one sick puppy!
I had a co-worker who went to New Orleans on a weekend trip and bought me a little voodoo doll as a souvenir. She arrived back home on Friday night, and was planning on bringing me the doll to work on Monday. On Sunday at Sunday School, her class studied about idols and objects of the occult and how dangerous they could be to the soul of the object's owner.
I never received the doll from her. She threw it in her dumpster when she got home from Sunday School.
I've never touched a Ouija board in my life, but I believe these things can happen.
That's why the Exorcist is so scary--it's real! Without the knowledge that demonic possession does occur and that there are brave and faithful Catholic priests who are willing to do this difficult and dangerous work, the movie is really lame and stupid.
I saw the Exorcist in a senior religion class at my Catholic high school. Only the 18 year old seniors could decide to participate in class that day, the rest had to have a note from home.
Trust me - I know!
Thanks for the excellent post.
Does anyone know of the "curse" stories related to the movie? I find that topic so fascinating.
Not yet.
Is it a good 'date' movie?
Iraq. They were in Iraq, not Africa. It is an historical site in Iraq, which the Arabs believe to be haunted by Jinns, and it is currently a US military base.
Disconcerting.
You are SUCH a McGreevey!
Hey - I NEVER had kids.
Thank G-d!
