Located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. and made famous after being prominently featured in The Exorcist, the “Exorcist Steps” have long been a popular tourist destination for horror fans, with many re-enacting Father Karras’ death scene for fun photos. Later this month, those steps may be granted landmark status!
As reported by Yahoo, big time Exorcist fan Andrew Huff has taken it upon himself to try and get the steps classified as a historic landmark, forming a community association that has petitioned Washington’s historic preservation review board for the cause, “in part to keep the construction of a new condo building from encroaching on them.”
The site adds that the historic preservation board will indeed weigh in on the matter, with their decision expected to be announced on November 15th.
The steep flight of 75 stone steps was built in 1895.
