What is the #1 horror movie of all time? <\/h2>\n

The Exorcist is a 1973 American supernatural horror film directed by William Friedkin, adapted from the 1971 novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty. The film stars Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Lee J. Cobb, Jason Miller, Linda Blair, and Jack MacGowran. It tells the story of a 12-year-old girl, Regan MacNeil (Blair), who becomes possessed by a demon and whose mother (Burstyn) then seeks the help of two priests (von Sydow and Miller) to perform an exorcism. <\/p>\n

The Exorcist was released theatrically in the United States on December 26, 1973, by Warner Bros. Though it was initially met with mixed reviews from critics, the film earned a reputation over the years as one of the greatest horror films ever made, and it has been selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. The film was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, winning two (Best Sound Mixing and Best Adapted Screenplay), and was nominated for five Golden Globe Awards. In 2010, the Library of Congress selected the film to be preserved in the National Film Registry.<\/p>\n
