The Exorcist Steps

Connecting Prospect Street NW and M Street NW, this route spans more than 75 stone steps that mark where Father Karras made his dramatic descent. A commemorative plaque at the bottom documents the landmark's screen history, while the house featured in the movie stands nearby at the top of the climb. It works as a quick stop just off the neighborhood's primary commercial stretch, well suited for a short ascent or atmospheric evening visits.
