The Vault : The Exorcist 'Theme From The Motion Picture' (7")

The Exorcist is a ground-breaking movie that defied the norm of horror/suspense genre. It is one of the highest earning movies of all time and instantly became a cult classic. If you are not convinced just check out Regan's infamous spider-walk scene...


Besides collecting hardcore-punk cassette tapes, CDs, fanzines, show flyers, and vinyls, I also collect comic books and horror memorabilia. Anyway, I bought this 7" vinyl for $1.00 from a Japan Surplus Shop near our house. It was pressed by Warner-Pioneer Corporation in 1974. The Exorcist 7" single contains two songs: 

Side A : Tubular Bells (Mike Oldfield)
Side B : Iraq (Jack Nitzsche-Krzysztof Penderecki)

"Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon. We may ask what is relevant but anything beyond that is dangerous. He is a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us." - Father Merrin
