The Exorcist

[woodelf]

Is there still some kind of unmentionable 'fear' surrounding the novel The Exorcist?...I can't find an audio version anywhere!...Ta Muchly.

[dotty.]

Didn't know there ever was, it's well dated now.

[squarebear]

You probably can't find it because it must be nearly 40 years old now!

[ummmm]

Pinki - Woodelf is blind I believe...

[woodelf]

Well dated Dotty.?...in what way?

[yogi-bear]

Hi woodelf,

I still, after many years find the film quite unsettling and disturbing in parts, but the real fear seems to be of the curse around the film and the book......the link i've put on provides just some of the odd things that the film has attached to it........so maybe this is what drives the fear......

There have been hundreds more of the same genre published since that have been far more graphic, shocking, poiintlessly grewsome,

You can watch it here online, free. Let the movie stream a little before watching

As Um says Pinkilady, I am, but I don't suppose you knew that...smile...and I never got to see the film when I could see...I'd get in the flicks and then as the film started, up would jump all these protestors and make such a din I just walked out!...again and again.

[sir.prize]

My apologies woodelf. I was not aware.

[stokemaveric]

the exorcist was one of the scariest films i have ever seen...no film has ever come close....

[ummmm]

I suppose an audio tape would better describe the surroundings...

[dotty.]

it's on amazon as an audio book:

[yogi-bear]

Agreed, dotty....but for a film made in 1973, when this was almost unheard of in it's day, it still packs a pretty hard punch. even though i would also agree that due to fashion constraints and some of the filming technique's it does look a bit dated now, but hey, so does flicks like 'Bullitt' and 'The French Connection', but does'nt make them still being great movies.

[dotty.]

that's the US amazon actually but shouldn't mean you can't order it

Seems to be still available: http://www.google.co....=audio+books+Exorcist

I'll check with a good mate of mine who's registered blind and has a huge collection of audio books...
