But the prince of darkness wants to go a second round and has returned to repossess her! With Father Mayii unwilling to help, Father Luke Brophy tries his best to help Nancy, even when TV's Ernest Weller plans to air the exorcism live on TV.

Repossessed is a 1990 American comedy horror film written and directed by Bob Logan, and starring Linda Blair, Leslie Nielsen, Ned Beatty and Anthony Starke. A parody of The Exorcist (1973), in which Blair had previously starred, the film follows Nancy Aglet, a woman who becomes possessed for the second time in her life while viewing a prosperity gospel television program. The film features numerous gags based on The Exorcist, such as the green-vomit and head-spinning scenes, and real-life events such as the televangelist scandals of the 1980s.

Production

Linda Blair agreed to appear in the film under the request that Leslie Nielsen star opposite her as Father Jebediah Mayii, the priest in the film. "Bob Logan talked me into doing a spoof of The Exorcist because he knew I wanted to lay that image to rest," Blair said. "I didn’t want to do it until Carolco (a production company) called and asked me what it would take for me to do the film.
