We can’t talk about religious horror shows without mentioning The Exorcist. Although the show was short-lived and canceled after just two seasons, it gave us many scares. The first season of The Exorcist tells the story of Angela Rance, who suspects the presence of evil in her house after having frightening nightmares, so she turns to the progressive and compassionate Father Ortega and the abrasive and relentless Father Keane for help.
The second season focuses on Father Ortega and the newly collarless Keane as they get on the road to seek out and destroy evil. Their journey leads them to a former child psychologist who runs a group home for at-risk foster kids where one of the children is consumed by a powerful force.
Like Evil,The Exorcist tells an exorcist story and tackles demonic possessions, and uses the marriage of science and religion to keep viewers on their toes. The Exorcist was created by Jeremy Slater and stars Alfonso Herrera, Ben Daniels, Brianne Howey, andGeena Davis.
