The original theatrical trailer for the 1973 supernatural horror film ''[[wikipedia:The Exorcist|The Exorcist]]'', made for Warner Bros., contains [[screamers]]. The film features [[Regan MacNeil]] and [[Pazuzu]], two well-known figures in the world of horror and screamers. Before ''The Exorcist'' was released on December 26, 1973. This trailer spawned controversy due to the following reason, as described in a 2009 mirror upload by ShortFormCinema: "''The original (rare) 1973 theatrical trailer that film executives banned due to the concern that the content within was too disturbing for audiences.''" | |||
The trailer begins with [[Pazuzu]] (voiced by the late [[wikipedia:Mercedes McCambridge|Mercedes McCambridge]]), together with some uncomfortable music in the background. A taxi stops at the house of [[Regan MacNeil]], the girl who got possessed by Pazuzu. Father Merrick, the person who's getting called to save Regan after Pazuzu possessed her, is seen leaving the taxi, with a voice-over in the background saying: "''Something beyond comprehension is happening to a little girl on the street, in this house.''" As the taxi leaves and Father Merrick is about to enter the house, the voiceover continues saying: "''A man has been sent for, as a last resort, to try and save her.''" | The trailer begins with [[Pazuzu]] (voiced by the late [[wikipedia:Mercedes McCambridge|Mercedes McCambridge]]), together with some uncomfortable music in the background.
