Now 40 years since its original release, The Exorcist still has the power to unnerve me and creep me out like no other horror film. Just in time for that 40th anniversary, a video has surfaced that’s sure to give you as many nightmares as the movie itself has!

YouTube channel ShortFormCinema uploaded rare footage of The Exorcist‘s original theatrical trailer, which executives apparently banned and deemed far too frightening and disturbing. The nearly two-minute long trailer prominently features the image of Pazuzu, a demon that was only seen in quick flashes within the actual film.
