The Exorcist is a 1971 novel by writer William Peter Blatty. It details the demonic possession of eleven-year-old Regan MacNeil, the daughter of a famous actress, and the two priests who attempt to exorcise the demon. Published by Harper & Row, the novel was the basis of a highly successful film adaptation released two years later, whose screenplay was also written and produced by Blatty, and part of The Exorcist franchise.

The novel was inspired by a 1949 case of supposed demonic possession and exorcism that Blatty heard about while he was a student in the class of 1950 at Georgetown University. As a result, the novel takes place in Washington, D.C., near the campus of Georgetown U.

An 2023 film currently titled as Untitled Exorcist film , also based on The Exorcist (novel) By Blatty, and will serve as a direct sequel to The Exorcist and will also be a remake/reboot.
