William Peter Blatty's original Novel, inspired by true events in 1949, I have read twice. He wrote the screenplay that William Peterson directed and fought with him so much about. Well, whatever cut you see, although Mr. Blatty's adds much cohesiveness, it is the apex in film of philosophical doubt. For that is really what The Exorcist was about, having doubts about one's religion, doubting one's own faith! It is not really a horror movie or Novel, it is much more intellectual than that. :)
