Novels
[
edit
]
Pazuzu first appeared in William Peter Blatty's
The Exorcist
in 1971.
[1]
The novel is about a 12-year-old girl,
Regan MacNeil
, possessed by a demon. The demon is later revealed to be Pazuzu; though never explicitly stated to be the demon, two references were made about his statue, which was uncovered in the prologue by Father
Lankester Merrin
in northern
Iraq
. After Regan's mother worries about her daughter being possessed, Merrin and Karras arrive at her house and perform an
exorcism
on Regan and successfully force the demon out of Regan's body. In their struggle to free Regan from the
thrall
of Pazuzu, both priests perish.
Pazuzu returns in
Legion
, wanting to take revenge for being thrown out of Regan's body. He does this by driving the Gemini Killer's soul into
Father Damien Karras
's dead body. Although not directly identified as Pazuzu, the Gemini Killer refers to "others" who would see his work continue. In the end of the novel, the Gemini Killer leaves the body of Father Karras following the death of the killer's father, the driving force behind the Gemini Killer's crimes.
Films
[
edit
]
Two years after the novel was published,
The Exorcist
was released in theaters as a motion picture. In the beginning of the film, Father Merrin finds a ruined statue of the demon during a dig in Iraq. The majority of the film deals with Regan's demonic possession by a being she initially refers to as "Captain Howdy." During the attempted exorcism of Regan the statue of Pazuzu Merrin found at the beginning of the film briefly appears, The demon is ultimately exorcised out of Regan's body after Merrin dies of a heart attack, and
Father Damien Karras
sacrifices himself by luring the demon into his body and then hurling himself through a window and down the
infamous flight of stairs
leading down to M Street NW, in Georgetown.
In
Exorcist II: The Heretic
, Pazuzu is named as the demon and returns to haunt Regan. There are flashbacks of Merrin battling the demon in Regan and also flashbacks of Merrin's exorcism of Pazuzu from a boy named Kokumo in Africa many years earlier. In the end of the film, Regan and Father Lamont, who has been trying to help her, but has become possessed by Pazuzu, return to Georgetown. After a struggle, he declines Pazuzu's offer of power and Regan banishes Pazuzu, appearing in the form of locusts.
The Exorcist III
takes place 15 years after the original film. The film was adapted by Blatty from his novel
Legion
. Lieutenant Kinderman, who was also in the original film, has been on a murder case about mysterious deaths committed by an anonymous person. It is later found out that Pazuzu convinced the Gemini Killer, who died at the same time as
Father Karras
, to inhabit his body as punishment for saving Regan. However, as result of his suicide, his brain was severely damaged, which demons/spirits need when they possess a body. The Gemini Killer spent years stimulating his brain so he would be of use, and then began committing murders by possessing the bodies of the other inhabitants of the hospital where Karras had been staying. In the end of the movie after a turbulent exorcism is done, Karras regains control of the body and asks Kinderman to kill him, which he does by shooting him in the head, keeping him from being possessed again.
In
Exorcist: The Beginning
and
Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist
, Pazuzu is shown in his first encounter with Father Merrin in
Africa
in the duel that "nearly kills Merrin," referenced in the very first movie. Although the plot of both of these versions center around Merrin's African exorcism many years earlier, they take a sharp departure from the original scenes in
Exorcist II: The Heretic
where Merrin exorcises a young boy named Kokumo on a mountaintop. No effort was made to keep the stories consistent beyond that central idea.
Television
[
edit
]
In
The Exorcist
television series
, which is presented as a sequel to the original film, Pazuzu continues its pursuit of Regan and possesses her daughter Casey. After nearly killing Casey, the demon is able to possess Regan again and is almost able to take complete control of her mind. However, with the aid of the priest Father Tomas and her family, Regan fights back against Pazuzu, regaining control of her mind, just as Father Tomas exorcises the demon from her body.
