Lankester Merrin is a veteran Catholic priest who is on an archeological dig in Iraq. In Iraq he finds an amulet which resembles the statue of Pazuzu, a demon who Merrin defeated years ago. Merrin then realizes the demon has returned to get his revenge.
Meanwhile in Georgetown/ Washington D.C, famous actress Chris MacNeil is living on location with her pre-teen daughter Regan. After playing with an Ouija boardRegan acts strangely such as making mysterious noises, constant bad language and abnormal strength. Regan also causes her bed to shake as well, much to her and Chris's horror. Despite giving a few unpleasant operations, Dr. Klein and his assistants find nothing wrong with her, not knowing she is now possessed by Pazuzu.
One night Regan kills her babysitter and Chris's director Burke Dennings who Chris had a crush on (as she and Regan's father divorced). His murder is investigated by a detective named William Kinderman. He interviews both a young priest named Damien Karras, who has lost faith in God after his frail mother died, and Chris. Chris knows Regan was the only one who was in the house when Dennings died.
After the doctors decide that an exorcism may be the only way to help Regan, Chris arranges a meeting with Karras. Karras at first refuses to get permission to perform an exorcism, despite Regan now being totally possessed by the demon. After getting a recording of her talking in reverse and seeing the words "Help Me" on her stomach Karras decides to perform an exorcism with Merrin chosen to help.
In Regan's bedroom both men try to exorcise the demon but a stubborn Pazuzu toys with them, especially Karras, including insulting his late mother. After a break and hint of faltering, Karras is dismissed. Merrin attempts the exorcism alone. Karras enters the room and discovers Merrin has died and confronts the mocking, laughing spirit of Pazuzu. At Karras' plea, Pazuzu then possesses Karras, leaving Regan's body. In a moment of self-sacrifice, the priest throws himself out of the window and dies from a broken neck, thereby completing the exorcism of Pazuzu.
A few days later Regan, who is now back to normal, returns home to Los Angeles with her mother. Kinderman, who narrowly misses them, befriends Father Dyer, an old friend of Karras, as he investigates how Karras died.

The Exorcist is a 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty. The book details the demonic possession of twelve-year-old Regan MacNeil, the daughter of a famous actress, and the Jesuit psychiatrist priest who attempts to exorcise the demon. Published by Harper & Row, the novel was the basis of a highly successful film adaption released two years later, whose screenplay was also written by Blatty.
The novel was inspired by a 1949 case of demonic possession and exorcism that Blatty heard about while he was a student in the class of 1950 at Georgetown University.[1] As a result, the novel takes place in Washington D.C. near the campus of Georgetown University. In September 2011, the novel was reprinted by Harper Collins to celebrate its fortieth anniversary, with slight revisions made by Blatty as well as interior title artwork by Jeremy Caniglia.
