Georgetown, DC - Staircase from The Exorcist The long, narrow staircase that holds the legend that someone "mysteriously fell down" during the filming of The Exorcist is at the end of M street in Georgetown, DC. There is a gas station there now. It is not so much the mecca of the aging punk squatter scene anymore, but tourists do still come to take pictures. [John Shea, 11/10/1998][RA: Snapster Dean Jeffrey sent this photo of the steps that Father Karras falls down in The
Exorcist. "William Peter Blatty, author of the book and screenplay, once lived at 3618 Prospect Street. Due
to their creepy and theatrical nature, the steps used to be locally known as 'The
Hitchcock Steps.'"]
