  THE EXORCIST 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY WILLIAM FRIEDKIN 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Exorcist is a 1973 supernatural horror film directed by William Friedkin, based on William Peter Blatty's novel. The story follows Chris MacNeil, an actress whose 12-year-old daughter, Regan, begins exhibiting strange and violent behavior. As doctors fail to find a cause, Chris turns to Father Damien Karras, a Jesuit priest and psychologist, who suspects her daughter may be possessed by a demon. The film explores themes of faith, good versus evil, and the battle for the soul, set against a backdrop of chilling supernatural events, making it one of the most iconic and unsettling horror films in cinema history. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Due to threats against Linda Blair from religious extremists who believed the film glorified Satan, Warner Bros. provided her with bodyguards for six months after the film's release.” 
    
  “On the first day of filming the exorcism sequence, Linda Blair's foul-mouthed dialogue so shocked the gentlemanly Max von Sydow that he forgot his lines.” 
    
  “The Exorcist became Warner Bros.' highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation.” 
    
  “The original teaser trailer, which featured quick flashes of a white-faced demon, was banned in several theaters for being too frightening.” 
    
  “If adjusted for inflation, The Exorcist would still hold the title of the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.”

  Bird watching, also known as birding, is a recreational activity where individuals observe and study birds in their natural habitats. It can range from casual observation in one's backyard to more serious pursuits involving travel to specific locations to see rare or interesting bird species. Bird watchers often use binoculars, spotting scopes, and field guides to identify different species and learn about their behaviors, calls, and habitats. Bird watching can also contribute to citizen science by helping track bird populations and migrations. 
  Bird watching offers a range of benefits. Engaging in this activity can enhance mental well-being by providing a sense of tranquility and reducing stress through time spent in nature. It encourages physical activity, as it often involves walking or hiking to various locations. Bird watching can also foster a deeper connection to the environment and promote conservation awareness. It offers opportunities for learning and education, as enthusiasts gain knowledge about different bird species, their behaviors, and ecosystems. Additionally, it can be a social activity, creating opportunities for shared experiences and community building among those with similar interests.

  “It’s hard to believe I’m doing this,” DJ Semtex opens his book. “I never considered for one moment that I would be writing about an experience like this.” As an acclaimed DJ, producer and radio host, he spent years telling other people’s stories, now it’s time to tell his. As Serious as Cancer is an unflinching portrait of the man behind the decks and his unexpected face-off with the C-word.  
  “All I know is I’ve never faced anything as serious as cancer before.” - DJ Semtex 
  “I got a question as serious as cancer,” Rakim raps on his iconic 1987 album Paid in Full. Semtex leans on the popularised hip hop trope in his tell-all: When you’ve got everything going for you, what do you do when one word turns your whole world upside down? The book charts the four-month period in early 2023 from a sudden concerning discovery to his diagnosis with kidney cancer, treatment and finally recovery. Semtex takes us on this journey with a gut-wrenching honesty and searing specificity that will resonate with anyone whose life has been touched by the disease and move even those who have not been personally affected by it. 
  Semtex reflects on his past, family, career, the NHS that saved his life and hip hop’s relationship with cancer. But above all, As Serious as Cancer is an exploration of the self. Vulnerable, insightful and compelling, Semtex ponders finding yourself face-to-face with your own mortality – “The darkest cloud over a life that I had worked so hard to build and still many more dreams to pursue.” He details the mental anguish and physical toll of figuring your way out of a health crisis; Navigating your life’s work and treatment – and how ultimately passion is the greatest medicine for despair. At its core, As Serious as Cancer is about resilience and the human spirit. “I had no intention of giving up,” he writes, “I wasn’t ready to die, I was ready to live."
