Released in 1973, The Exorcist centres around the unrelenting demonic possession of a young girl, and her mother’s tireless attempts to save her soul through an exorcism. The film is one of the most profitable horror movies ever made and continues to be have a major impact on pop culture – prompting numerous sequels and a TV series. Given that The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is based on the horror comics, first published in 2014 and also penned by Aguirre-Sacasa, it’s no surprise that the creators chose to go down this dark route.
