The original theatrical trailer for the 1973 supernatural horror film ''[[wikipedia:The Exorcist|The Exorcist]]'', made for Warner Bros., contains disturbing imagery. The film features [[Regan MacNeil]] and [[Pazuzu]], two well-known figures in the world of horror and screamers. Before the actual movie 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.
