  • Mercedes McCambridge is the unsung hero of The Exorcist, portraying the voice of Pazuzu. Her performance is absolutely stunning. Have you heard of how she was able to go so dark for the film? Hope you enjoy!

It was supposed to hit father carras in the chest but it actually got him in the face. Which he wasn't too happy about. But they kept the scene. Plus the pea soup was actually mixed with oatmeal.

    The real horror of the film is that adults allowed a child to go through hell just for a movie. Linda suffered a lot during the filming and after. She had death threats, no credit for her wonderful performance, got robbed of the Oscar and suffered from the back injury all her life because of the filming. Also, she never had a significant role after that so every time she's interviewed, all the reporters can ask about is this movie. It's like she's been cursed. Also, there was an interview of her that really broke my heart. She didn't want to be an actress, she wanted to be a vet. But they kept pushing her for movie projects, just to make money. And because of that, she never had the chance to go to college. How cruel. And, in spite of all that, she managed to stay balanced. What a great human being. I love you, Linda.

    I was 11 years old when I first saw the movie. Now I'm 48 years. Got so much shock that it took 2 years to get over from the shock for this scary movie. Even I was unable to go the the next room of my house at night. Later on saw the film many times too. But still I feel the same chill of scariness, what I got 37 years ago. To me the voice of Pazuzu played by Mercedes McCambridge is the best scary voice of all time in the history of horror films & I don't think no other movie could super sit it. The best scariest/horror movie of all time. Hats of to Linda Blair for her exclusive performance at the age of 14 years.

    Man,this is THE GREATEST article ever made on "The Exorcist"!
    I've been saying for decades that 1of the most brilliant aspects from the Film is the sound design.
    I've watched it several times without any image or sound.
    It's really frightening how the Movie SOUNDS horrifying even without a single image onscreen.
    Not only the sound effects,the music,the noises,but mainly Mercedes McCAMBRIDGE must be credited as the most chillingly effective element of the narrative.
    Thanks for pointing that out so passionately.👏👏🤘🤘

    Watching the scenes without the marvellous Mercedes, Linda's performance is very good - no question. But add Mercedes vocal performance and the film shoots into the exosphere.
    The sounds 'that thing upstairs' made were always the most frightening element of the film for me. Ms McCambridge really deserved greater recognition for her contribution to the most frightening film of all time, so I appreciate this video honouring her.

So, she deserved everything she got. You cannot be rude just because you were an 'actress'? Hmmmm.

I must say it was the most scariest experience I ever witnessed. This movie scared me to where I could not sleep in my bedroom by myself for a good month 😆. My mother thought I was just being stubborn but she didn't know that my cousin and her friends took me to see this movie without her knowing. I swore to my cousin that I would never tell anyone because if I did she would be in big trouble lol 😆. Excellent movie and I give much props to Mercedes Mc Cambridge her voice will never be duplicated and will always live in the minds of the people she scared all over the world may she R.I.P 🙏🏼 oh yeah I finally let the cat out of the bag" I waited til my late teens when I told Mom my cousin and her friends took me to see the EXORCIST and all she did was give me a smirk and shook her head... 😆 R.I.P Mom🌹🙏🏼

    Terrible tragedy what happened with Mercedes McCambridge's son John and his family. John earned a P.hd in Economics, was hired by a Little Rock, Arkansas investment company, then started embezzling funds and transferring said funds into a secret account set-up falsely in his mother's name which his mother Mercedes knew nothing about. When John was caught, the company gave him a medical discharge and tired him. To avoid prosecution, Don begged his mother to help him pay back to the company the monies he owed it which he stole. She refused. Don then wrote a very detailed bitter suicide note, accusing his mother Mercedes of never being there for him among other things, ending the note sarcastically with, " 'Night, Mother..." John then murdered his wife, his daughters, his whole family, then killed himself. John's mother, Academy-Award- and Golden Globe-Award-winning veteran actress Mercedes McCambridge died alone in La Jolla, California, two weeks shy of her 88th birthday in 2004....
