quite a handful for her actress-mother, Chris MacNeil (played by
Ellen Burstyn, although Blatty reportedly based the character on
his next-door neighbor Shirley MacLaine). When Regan gets
completely out of hand, Chris calls in young priest Father Karras
(Jason Miller), who becomes convinced that the girl is possessed
by the Devil and that they must call in an exorcist: namely, Father
Merrin (Max von Sydow). His foe proves to be no run-of-the-mill
demon, and both the priest and the girl suffer numerous horrors
during their struggles.

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" -- or, rather, a
homicidal boy in Stanley Kubrick's eerie 1980 adaptation of
Stephen King's horror novel. With wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall)
and psychic son Danny (Danny Lloyd) in tow, frustrated writer
Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) takes a job as the winter
caretaker at the mountain-locked Overlook Hotel so that he can
write in peace. The manager (Barry Nelson) informs Jack that a
previous caretaker went crazy and slaughtered his family. Settling
into their routine, Jack sets up shop in a cavernous lounge with
strict orders not to be disturbed. Danny's alter ego, "Tony,"
however, starts warning of "redrum" as Danny is plagued by more
blood-soaked visions of the past, and a blocked Jack starts
visiting the hotel bar for a few visions of his own. Frightened by
her husband's behavior, Wendy soon discovers what Jack has
really been doing in his study all day, and what the hotel has done
to Jack.
