Why was she possessed by Pazuzu? Is there a secret implication in the movie that someone has brought her to a black mass or that she was abused?

No, the entire point of the movie is the theological question of why do bad things happen to good people for no reason. Although I think it was implied that the drunk guy tried to molest her but that was already after the possession started
It was also implied there was a black mass on the church.
In the book I think the implied mass happened after the possession.
In the tv show she was marked by him in disguise at a fair or something. I only remember this because she was played by Sophie Thatcher in that version
Aaa shit you watched the show too
Her mother let her play with ouija board
Checked
Yeah I thought that was the whole point. How the hell does anyone forget Mr. Howdy?
not to nitpic, but it was actually 'Captain Howdy"
just incase you forgot.
Oh shit thank you. How ironic.
Nailed it.
This. That's half the reason they were so demonised in satanic panic era
Yeah
It was this. She was trying to communicate with the spirit world without knowing what she was doing.
She truly did that in the movie? I have never watched it, or actually yes but it was when i was like six years old and I not remember anything.
>get possessed by Mesopotamian demon
>hire a Christian priest
You think they have Mesopotamian priests in the phone book?
Well pagan gods are all fallen angels according to the Bible. In this narrative all first humans believed in God the only one but then they started to worship fallen angels who descended upon earth during Enoch and Noah's times. These fallen angels are the pagan gods who stayed on the memories. This or they are just false gods like complete inventions, like the golden calf.
Satanism is not the worship of demons or pagan gods but mostly the reverse of Rituals you see in the Leviticus book.
>Tfw sister made me play the scary maze as a kid and now i'm forever terrified of watching this
Scary maze?
The old ass flash game where you move your mouse through a maze and right before you get to the end it jumpscares you
You fricking zoomer newbie
I feel sorry for zoomers. They'll never understand.
Isn't Scary Maze Game zoomer shit? I feel like it was very popular among middle schoolers in the early 2010s.
Nobody knows what zoomer means.
That fricking face still spooks me everytime I see it posted
For me it was the one with the Backstreet Boys song or whatever it was.
Satan prey on innocence.
People would not have been as frightened if they just said the devil possessed her. During that time, people were starting to not believe in demons and the devil was seen as more or less a joke. He was depicted as a goof in a red suit, horns, an arrow tail end and carrying a pitchfork, not very scary at all.
I don’t know about that, that era of horror movies was obsessed with Satan. Rosemary’s Baby, The Devil Rides Out, The Omen.
'60s and '70s knew a strong fad in occultism. Hippies and young people in general were interested in exotic religions and cults in opposition to the western christian values.
The problem was that these other religions had vast and complex theologies, so Satanism was the easiest choice for many people to oppose to the christian morality, because its central figure was already known thanks to popular culture and catechism.
This movie traumatized me as a kid. So much that I actually blocked out a lot of the memory surrounding it for a long time. The circumstances around it made it more impactfuI.
I was being babysit by my sisters friends family, and I was rarely from my mother. That alone was scary and for some reason I was watching this fricking movie? For all I know it I was being forced to, by the kids or something. I don't remember. Also, there was some sort of unique smell. All these together create this hellish feeling I slowly remember 30 years later. Once in a blue moon I come across that chemical smell and in an instant I feel like a scared child. I wouldn't doubt a demon itself was around me as a kid. I really don't remember what happened, but I remember bits and pieces of being scared for a long time after.
I used to be a crazy christcuck and refused to see the movie because it was blasphemy. Stopped believing in that shit and finally watched it and it's pretty lame and laughable.
So you dropped Christ and now just a cuck?
Nice try homosexual but the only cuck here is you, constantly bending over for israelites.
brace yourself
Is that Christopher Walken?
dont think os, it was the 1/2 second jump scare face they showed a few times during the movie that made boomers have heart attacks in the cinema
it was ironic question
it kinda reminds me of Walken in Sleepy Hollow
its a real demon wearing human flesh
I think the pazuzu faces were taken from tests for the possessed makeup. The demon face is actually a girls face.
you guys know that Ivana Trump died in a ritual referencing this movie?
3 parts
heres a link to some of the info

Yo.
Father Merrin exorcised Pazuzu years before, and it came back for revenge. The demon chose to possess an unbaptized girl who lived in a secularized society, knowing that the supernatural nature of the event would have been ignored for long, giving him the time to currupt her as more as possible, thus becoming stronger than the last fight.
The whole movie is a McGuffin for the final exorcism part, the real protagonist was Max Von Sydow all along.
Anyway there wasn't any black mass, the statue of Mary was desecrated by Pazuzu as an act of defiance.
She fricked around with wedgie boards and invited spirits over.
I'm possessed by my neighbours little girls doll that wants me to photograph her naked.
I saw this movie the first time when I was 3, in 1986, and it made me laugh. ET, however, made me cry, but also because I was abandoned by my parents. The only films that scared me as a kid were In Cold Blood and Henry. I was really into horror movies though.
I've been a huge horror fan since I was a kid and watched Exorcist very young. I didn't think much of it for a long time. But it got scarier as I got older. Losing faith, losing loved ones, losing your kid, and an evil that is timeless just hits home more and more. It's crazy that The Exorcist is 50 years old and still people are talking about it.
