Resumo

The devil has been, over the centuries, one of the favorite characters of figurative arts, including cinema - that has represented in various ways and in various genres. Their different appearances have been documented and examined in detail, but its sound counterpart has not received the same attention. It is the aim of this essay, therefore, to examine and discuss some of the most influential ways in which the devil has been depicted in movies in sonic terms. We will do this by analyzing the use of voice, music and sound effects in The Exorcist (William Friedkin, 1973). We choose this film due to the massive influence he had on Devil’s representation in horror cinema of the past five decades.
