The 'Exorcist Steps' in Georgetown

A steep brick stairway in Georgetown was used as the filming location for the climactic exterior sequence in the 1973 film The Exorcist, and the steps have since been popularly known as the 'Exorcist Steps'. The site has become a frequent destination for film fans and tourists interested in the movie's production locations. The stairs are publicly accessible and lie in the vicinity of the 3600 block of Prospect Street NW.
