Best Regan MacNeil Halloween Costume Guide
Regan MacNeil is a fictional character in William Peter Blatty’s book and film, The Exorcist, in which she is played by a young Linda Blair. Regan is one of the most iconic characters in the history of horror films, as the shy, polite child who becomes possessed and turns into anything but polite. Her mother is a busy actress who spends lots of time away from home, and her parents are in the process of divorcing, which provides a perfect opportunity for demons to overtake her soul.
As the changes in her behavior become more dramatic, her mother has no option but to accept the theory she may be possessed, so she seeks help from the Catholic Church. If you want to transform into horror icon Regan MacNeil, you’ll need a Regan Costume, Regan Mask, Wooden Cross, every horror costume’s essential ingredient of Fake Blood, and some Fake Vomit.

About Regan MacNeil
Regan MacNeil is the 12-year-old daughter of actress Chris MacNeil and is played by Linda Blair in the 1961 demonic horror movie The Exorcist. She is introduced to us as a sweet, quiet young girl who loves her mother. A typical, happy kid. But it isn’t long before her behavior starts to become more bizarre, and even aggressive. It is first thought she is merely ill, but it isn’t long before her mother realizes there is more at play. Despite being an atheist, she accepts the possibility of demonic possession and contacts a priest, Father Karras.
It is revealed she is possessed by the demon Pazuzu, and Father Karras along with Father Merrin must try to expel the evil demon from the body of young Regan MacNeil. To this day, The Exorcist is still considered to be one of the most terrifying films of all time, due in no small part to the performance of Linda Blair as the possessed young girl.
