The Exorcist Scene That Wasn't Released Until Years Later

1973's "The Exorcist" has gone down in cinematic history as one of the most spine-tingling, pea-soup-colored vomit-inducing horror flicks of all time. The story of young Regan MacNeil, who finds herself possessed by a malicious demon, captivated — and terrified — audiences upon its big-screen debut. While Regan was eventually freed from the clutches of her spiritual predator, thanks to the sacrifice of Father Damien Karras, there's one thing that the film's priests couldn't banish: the horrific memories that the film instilled in its viewers for decades to come.

While the majority of "The Exorcist" preys upon audience members' fears of demonic forces, it also doesn't shy away from body horror. Who could forget the infamous spinning head scene? And while that's scary enough, there's one utterly freaky scene in particular that viewers didn't get to see until the movie's 2000 theatrical re-release. This is the "Exorcist" scene that wasn't released until years later.
