The Real Story Behind The Exorcist Inspiration
I wasn't aware The Exorcist was inspired by a true story, nor was I aware there was a novel (which I will be picking up). Has anyone else managed to watch this movie for years without knowing it was based on a true (alleged) story?
Also, if anyone has read the novel, please let me know if it's as good as the movie, or better! The Real Story Behind The Exorcist Inspiration

I grew up down the street from the hospital where it all went down. They have leveled the wing of the hospital but there is a crack in the parking lot they say is from the exorcism. They have tried to fill it and patch it dozens of times but it opens back up every time.

Book Vs. Film
The film is obviously excellent as we all know but the book is phenomenal!
I remember seeing the film for the first time in November of 1998 and became obsessed with it and with searching for any additional information in regards to the film. So upon scouring the internet I learned about the news article the story was based off of, the novel the film itself was based upon and a variety of random things that had to do with exorcisms and the church. Finding out about the book I rushed to the library that day, found it and checked it out and loved it even more than the film thanks to the additional detail it would go into plus the additional scenes that would not be available in the film for another little while. If you have yet to read it I would suggest you jump right on it as you will enjoy it just as much, if not more than you did the film!
