In 1973 Hell came home and invaded the body of a young girl.

 

This is the story of a movie and its makers. It's a tale of dark and light, of loss and love. A story of faith and fury, of causes and curses, of horrors real and imagined, of unbridled ego and brute force filmmaking.

From Wondery, this is a seven-part deep dive inspired by the story behind an unforgettable, classic movie. This is...Inside The Exorcist.

Inside The Exorcist is created, written, and narrated by Mark Ramsey. Audio design by Jeff Schmidt.
