Ultimate Fan Quiz; The Exorcist
This Ultimate Fan Quiz takes us to Georgetown's fashionable Prospect Street – temporary home of single mom Chris MacNeil, her impish, apple-cheeked daughter Regan, and the Devil himself. All questions refer to William Friedkin’s original version of the film – though that shouldn’t discourage you from tuning in and watching the somewhat less terrifying but still often entertaining sequel when it airs Oct 27th, on AMC.
The first two people to correctly answer all questions by Nov. 1 will each win The Exorcist- Complete Anthology (1973 - 2004) DVDs.
Please leave your answers in the comments section of this post and make sure that we have your name and email. We will contact the winner for additional mailing information. The winner will be announced in the comments section of this quiz post on or around November 15th. The winner may also be profiled in a blog entry deeming him/her the Ultimate Fan.
It may take up to 6 weeks for the winner to receive the DVD prize.
If you're up for the fan challenge, answer the following questions:
1) What bridge do we see in the film’s first Washington shot?
2) What’s “Crash Course”?
3) What’s the name of the demon whose image Father Merrin pulls from the base of the mound in Iraq ?
(Hint: in the alternate opening of Exorcist II: The Heretic, Richard Burton clarifies that it’s “an Assyrian demon traditionally known as the king of the evil spirits of the air.”)
4) Where does Saint Joseph appear in the film?
5) Who says “take your pills and you’ll be fine”?
6) Why did William Peter Blatty have a problem with the above line’s inclusion in the original version of the film?
7) What would every reasonable psychiatrist do?
8) What was Sharon out getting when Burke Dennings went out the window?
9) What event is "possible" but "unlikely"?
10) What is the demon?
11) Who or what would we reach if we dialed 546-2400?
12) Which two Peanuts characters make a brief appearance in the film?

An interesting -- and neck and neck -- competition. But we have our winners. Announcement coming tomorrow.
WE HAVE OUR WINNERS!
This was a close race. Lora Littleton, our first respondent, came in strong but in question 6 gave William Friedkin’s, rather than William Peter Blatty’s, reasons for being frustrated with the “take your pills and you’ll be fine” scene. Ouch! A little later on, Robbie Blevins rings in with 13 right answers, and is WINNER NUMBER ONE. (His wording on answer number five is a little questionable, but we’re going to allow it.) Robbie is followed by Jaqui Pontarelli, who also came up with 13 right answers -- and didn't get hung up on question five like a number of respondents did. Congratulations Robbie and Jaqui – you’re our ultimate Exorcist fans. (And thanks to EVERYONE who responded. Monsterfest readers KNOW THEIR HORROR MOVIES.)
