They
have 43 years passed since the father Karran throw out the window of
the house and fell rolling down a ladder until his death. 43
years since the end mythical "The Exorcist" will be shot in a
nondescript corner of the district of Georgetown, in Washington DC Now,
the mayor of the city has finally put a plate next to the stairs
remembering that this is a mythical place in the history of cinema. I
say finally because, although so far there was no reminder, the stairs
of "The Exorcist" was already a must stop for travelers.
There are 75 steps. It is not a pretty or spectacular or place. Nothing to do with the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, also in the capital of the United States, we have seen in many other films. Or the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art immortalized "Rocky". At number 3500 Prospect Street Northwest, Washington DC, started an alley that leads to the top of the stairs by the iconic father fell Karran when life is removed in an attempt to kill the demon that has possessed him .
Is there easily match with others who have also come to see with their own eyes those stairs. It is also likely coincide with the capital going up and down the race 75 inclined in their daily exercise. With a gas station next door and a busy bridge over the Potomac River behind, it is likely that the place lacks magic for anyone who does not have at its heart the film night scene of the dimly lit staircase and body down her father Karran steps. If you like movies, it is difficult to visit Washington DC for the first time and did not attend this event.
Georgetown neighborhood in which we found was the place where some of the few outside of the movie were filmed. Here he was born the capital of the United States and here survive its beautiful eighteenth century houses now converted into elegant residences for their more prosperous neighbors. M bustling street full of shops and restaurants, is one of the liveliest places in Washington. And the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal offers some of the most picturesque corners.
Jason Miller, the actor who played Father Damien Karras, could not attend the ceremony in which he was placed, on the eve of Halloween, the plaque now recalls the peculiarity of this ladder. Miller died in 2001. But they were the film's director, William Friedkin, and Peter Blatty, whose mind did the book and the script.
A few weeks ago I visited the stairs. When I walked down Prospect Street toward the place, I was surprised a photograph placed in the window of a house, at street level. The portrait was the face of evil Regan, the 12 year old girl possessed by the devil in the film. Georgetown keep alive the memory of the legendary film. Just they are missing the haunting strains of the soundtrack, the "Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield, leaving inside. carnival 2016
