The 1973 horror classic The Exorcist was mainly filmed on soundstages in New York city, but there were several exteriors shot in Georgetown, where the film is set. The house where the possession takes place still stands, however a large fence runs in front of it now. The wing of the house which overlooks the infamous steps is noticeably absent, owing to the fact that it was only a facade built by the studio especially for the film. However, next to the house the famous steps still stand.
