Experience 50 years of horror like never before when The Exorcist returns to theaters nationwide as part of this year’s Fathom Fright Fest.

When a charming 12-year-old girl takes on the characteristics and voices of others, doctors say there is nothing they can do. As people start to die, the girl’s mother realizes her daughter has been possessed by the devil and that her daughter’s only hope lies with two priests and the ancient rite of demonic exorcism. This extended version contains an additional 12 minutes added to the original theatrical version of the film, described as too scary to show in theaters during the movie’s original release.

As part of the Warner Bros. Studio 100th Anniversary Celebration and to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of The Exorcist’s theatrical release, Warner Bros. worked closely with director William Friedkin, on the restoration of this iconic horror film. This new 4K remastered version was created from the original camera negative and features audio masterfully remixed by Atmos.
