The Exorcist turns 50 this week, so we invited Marlena Williams, author of Night Mother: A Personal and Cultural History of the Exorcist, to come tell us about the little possession movie that changed America forever.

And—the most critical question of all—do Ouija boards really cause possession? You can find Marlena online here.You can buy the book here.
