History NightmareFuel / TheExorcistIII

-->'''Old Lady:''' I have a…a scrupulous conscience, Father, this need to confess so many things. If I step on two straws in the shape of a cross, I feel that I have to confess it. It torments me.\\

* The Dream sequence; it has a very eerie, [[DissonantSerenity tranquil while sounding off key]] feel to it at first and then gets frantic and more overtly horrifying right before Kinderman wakes up.

** There's also his description of how he possessed Karras's body: after his execution, the Gemini Killer's "master" transferred him into Karras's body to punish him for performing the exorcism on Regan [=MacNeil=] -- preventing Karras's soul from leaving his corpse, and forcing him to watch as The Gemini Killer uses his body to perform gruesome, obscene murders.

The Gemini Killer waited until after the burial, then clawed his way out of the coffin and out of the ground (terrifying a priest who was mourning over the grave before killing him with his bare hands.

* The Gemini Killer knows how to HannibalLecture better than the TropeNamer. Listen to how he's able to cut someone's head off without a single drop of blood being spilled. His description is worse than seeing it. The part where he randomly starts singing in a high falsetto voice, and then abruptly stops. Both him and Kinderman act like nothing happened.

* The exorcism scene; it may only be there due to ExecutiveMeddling, but at least the crew had the decency to make it downright unsettling. Particularly horrifying is when a statue of Jesus being crucified is desecrated to mock the murder of Thomas, a young boy.

** Not just a Monster Clown. It becomes the Joker at his most demonic looking in priestly robes ith a dagger and Bible in hand.

** That wasn't a part of the added scene. You'll notice Father Morning is nowhere to be seen.
** The skin-peeling, however... brrrrrrrrr.
