Pazuzu is the ancient demon at the heart of The Exorcist, the 1973 horror film that became a cultural touchstone for possession stories. While the film is best known for its shocking exorcism scenes, its unsettling sounds have lived on separately through soundboards, reaction videos and horror edits online. This crying clip circulates as a shorthand for demonic dread, letting creators borrow the film's atmosphere without showing its footage. Its staying power comes from that instant recognition: even listeners who have never seen the film sense something is deeply wrong.
