Episode Details

In 1973, the world watched The Exorcist. A film so disturbing that some audience members fainted in theaters. Others ran out screaming. Churches condemned it. Critics praised it. And despite all the controversy... it became one of the most successful horror films ever made, The Exorcist. But what frightened audiences most, wasn't the spinning heads. Or the green vomit. It was a single sentence. "Based on a true story." ... That story began decades earlier. In 1949. At the center of it all... was a thirteen-year-old boy. Today, most people know him as Roland Doe.
