Remembering the First Time: 'The Exorcist'

By Bob Mondello
Published August 26, 2004 at 12:00 AM EDT

Exorcist: The Beginning was the number one film at the box office last weekend. It made $18 million, despite reviews that said the story behind the film was more interesting than the story told on screen. NPR's Bob Mondello has a few Exorcist stories of his own.
