Summary

On Boxing Day 1973 audiences around the world flocked to the must-see cinema event of the year - The Exorcist - clamouring to see if the stories were true; that it was the most shocking film ever made. Even primed with this knowledge they could not be prepared for what they saw that night. People were fainting and vomiting in the aisles (really!) and ambulances lined up outside theatres before showings to save people the time of calling them. But an extremely scary movie isn't paranormal, is it? On this week's episode Kit and Rory dive into the making of this historic film and the alleged curse that followed the cast and crew both during the film's creation and for decades afterwards.
