THE EXORCIST
IFC, 8:00 p.m. ET
On Halloween night, here’s a full-sized treat that’s no trick: A prime-time showing of 1973’s The Exorcist. Even though, next Halloween, it will be 40 years old, it’s still one of the scariest movies ever made – perhaps the scariest. Linda Blair and Ellen Burstyn star in the story of a little girl (Blair) whose mother (Burstyn) is frightened by her daughter’s increasingly aberrant behavior. Max von Sydow co-stars in the title role.
