Heya Dead End Horror sheep that stay awake all day looking out the window at your naked neighbors that are making cinder block yard art. What's good? Anyway, for today I'm gonna be hauling out one of our older posts. This was like one of our first ever, Before we knew exactly what the hell we were doing. but don't be pissed. it's good. The busty Sasha Slaughter wrote this one. Obviously it's me, Zombie Zane typing this part, but the rest that follows is all Sasha.
So, how about we cut the foreplay and get to today's post. This is Sasha's take on the book, "The Exorcist." I'm sure you will find this most amusing and insightful. So without further ado, here it is.
Ok, so this week on Dead End, it's all about possession obsession. And I'm going to be giving a summary of The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty, which was recommended to me by my partner Zombie Zane. It was written in 1971 and takes place in Washington. It's about an eleven year old girl who is seemingly possessed by a demon.
Chris Macneil and her eleven year old daughter Regan live in a rental house on Prospect street. Chris starts to hear rapping sounds, which seemed to be coming from her daughters room. She dismisses it quickly, thinking it was rats. She would soon find out that it was much more than rodents that were invading her home, and also her daughter.
Chris starts to notice small, subtle changes in Regan, and her home. The rapping’s coming from Regan’s bedroom, her daughters bedroom furniture moved out of place, which she decides was done by her housekeeper Willie She notices in Regan’s playroom a Ouija board, and when asked about it Regan admits to using it and speaking to a ''Captain Howdy." And then one night Regan tells her mother that she can't sleep because her bed is shaking. And things start to get progressively worse from there.
Regan’s behavior starts to change. She throws tantrums, wont eat or sleep, and she’s very hyper and constantly moving. So Chris calls her doctor in LA for a list of psychiatrist for Regan. They run many tests including blood tests, and EEG, X rays and several different prescription drugs that have little or not effect on Regan’s behavior. She is seen by several different doctors and was diagnosed with several different disorders from epilepsy to split personality disorder.
Things start to get worse as Chris calls Dr. Klein and tells him to come over quickly. When he arrives Regan is in her bed screaming hysterically as she is twisting and her contorting her body. Dr. Klein and the neurologist then decide to do a spinal tap to see if they missed anything on the EEG that was done. The tests come back normal and Chris is back at square one.
The person that Regan claims is inside of her, begins to show itself.. When asked it's name, it refers to itself as Nowonmai. Soon after that, Regan is restrained to her bed for fear of her hurting others. As time goes on, the thing inside of Regan becomes increasingly violent as it takes over Regan’s body.
I'm not going to give away any of the good stuff, like the part where Regan takes her moms head and pushes it into her...ahhh got ya! But I will say that I was honestly grossed out at some of the things that the demon makes her do. Anyway, back to it.
Chris was then referred to Father Damien Karras, who also happens to be a psychiatrist, and asks him how she could have an exorcism done on her daughter. Father Karras is very reluctant in the beginning, insisting that it’s a mental disorder from which Regan is suffering, until he witnesses firsthand the horrible things that are happening to Regan.
Father Karras studies multiple books and articles, comparing Regan’s symptoms with other disorders, trying to see if there is a connection, and he finds nothing. He is finally convinced that Regan is possessed and goes to the president of Georgetown University and asks for permission to seek an exorcism and it was granted.
Father Karras is set to assist with the exorcism, but the Exorcist is Father Lankester Merrin, as he has more experience performing exorcisms. Father Merrin arrives to perform the exorcism, along with the help of Father Karras. It's a grueling and trying process with a lot of twists and unexpected turns. But the end is a good one.
I'm not going to give away any of the details of the exorcism, because it's definitely something that you should read on your own. And if it's something you've already read, don't be shy, send us a comment and tell us your opinion. And also be sure to check out Zombie Zane’s articles for this weeks Possession Obsession. Check back next time for new shiz...stay tuned!
Well, there ya have it. Pretty good, yes? I, too, liked this book as well. I read it long after I saw the movie though. But it was awesome nonetheless. Okay, be sure and check back tomorrow, I’ll have some new shit for ya.
So until then, take care, stay a-scared, and I am out. Peace peace and green pea soup grease!
