Where is The Exorcist streaming? Is it on Netflix or Hulu?

The Exorcist is one of the greatest horror movies of all time so it’s not surprising that horror fans seek it out as soon as summer slows to an end and Halloween approaches. If you’re looking to revisit the classic horror film during Halloween season, here’s what you need to know about where The Exorcist is streaming.

Though The Exorcist is a very popular movie, it’s surprisingly difficult to find. In fact, The Exorcist isn’t currently available to stream, but it’s available to rent or buy through several different services. You can rent it through Redbox, Vudu, Row8 or Prime Video, Apple TV, Microsoft and YouTube, and it’s also available to purchase through several of the same sites.

The Exorcist is a regular feature during horror movie marathons

When The Exorcist debuted in 1973, the movie drew more publicity from the number of fans fleeing from theaters than it did the lines of people trying to see it. Audiences had visceral reactions to the film’s controversial subject matter, but that didn’t keep people away. If nothing else, the movie’s cult status grew even more and now it’s part of Halloween celebrations the world over.

A young Linda Blair plays Regan, a 12-year old girl who is possessed by an evil demon. Her mother (Ellen Burstyn) summons help from Father Lankester Merrin (Max von Sydow), but it’s soon very clear that they will need all the help they can get to save Regan from the demon’s grip.

Over the years, several documentaries have explored the curses associated with the film, which has only served to increase the demand to watch the movie.

As Halloween approaches, it’s very likely that the movie will show up in horror movie marathons on television if you still have cable and don’t mind commercials or an edited version of the original film.
