Exorcist Steps (Prospect Street)

The steep granite steps on Prospect Street in Georgetown were used as the exterior filming location for the 1973 horror film The Exorcist and are commonly called the 'Exorcist Steps.' The steps descend from Prospect Street toward M Street and the canal and appear in production records and film-location guides. The site is a frequent stop on walking tours and a noted point of interest for film history and local oddities.
