666 Fridays: The Exorcist

Palace Central proudly presents 666 FRIDAYS, curated by Static Vision, where you’ll find the most devious, deranged and demonic horror and genre flicks this side of Transylvania, every Friday at 8:30pm from Jan 11 – Feb 22 in our 66-seat theatrette of terror, Cinema 6(66).  This season we’re proud to be showcasing the amazing work of women in horror, commencing with three films that feature incredible performances from their female leads, followed by our February Women In Horror Month screenings, showcasing four significant contemporary horror films directed by women.

We launch on Jan 11 with one of the most beloved horror films of the ‘70s, William Friedkin’s blasphemous blockbuster hit, THE EXORCIST (1973). Attracting extravagant levels of controversy upon release, Friedkin’s tale of demonic possession is led by two powerhouse performances from the legendary Ellen Burstyn as mother Chris and Linda Blair as daughter Regan MacNeil, who call in the assistance of a priest when Regan becomes possessed by an unknown force.
