The power of Christ compelled Linda Blair to confront her demons once more.

Halloween may sadly be over, but in both Orlando and Hollywood, Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights still has a little bit of wind left in its sails. Friday, November 4th and Saturday, November 5th are the final days to experience this year’s attractions and mazes, which include, among many others, a haunted house that takes you deep inside the world of The Exorcist.

It was 43-years ago that a young Linda Blair made horror history as the possessed Regan MacNeil in William Friedkin’s seminal classic, and Blair recently celebrated her star-making role by appearing at Halloween Horror Nights. She was there to personally experience The Exorcist maze, and we’ve just been provided with some video footage of her walk-through.

Said Blair:

It’s an amazing homage. It’s really gonna make your head spin.
