A new book analyzes the behind-the-scenes of William Friedkin's horror classic, The Exorcist. The author, Nat Segaloff, reveals that the true story behind the film did not include levitation or head-spinning but may have involved shaking beds and words appearing etched on the boy's body. The Exorcist, along with other films like Poltergeist and The Conjuring, reportedly experienced real haunted happenings during filming. Additionally, never-before-seen footage from the original Exorcist movie, including deleted scenes and outtakes, has recently surfaced online.
