It was the beginnings of the internet, kids were sniffing glue instead of eating tide pods, people were getting slimed on Nickelodeon, and you could sit down and eat Trix while blasting Nirvana in your flannel and ripped jeans.

The A24 Rocks crew brings a special Halloween treat for horror fans by reviewing the 1973 William Friedkin classic "The Exorcist." The Exorcist was adapted by the writer of the novel William Peter Blatty, and is considered one of the most successful horror films of all time, earning $1.8 billion in the box office accounting for inflation. It's about a 12 year old girl named Reagan and her actress mother Chris. Soon after Reagan plays with a Ouija board, strange things start happening to her and the house they live in. Father Damien Karras is a Catholic Priest and a psychiatrist at Georgetown. His path crosses with Chris and Reagan when it is believed that Reagan is possessed by a demon and must seek an exorcism.
