Two of the best horror movies made...
Halloween was seriously underwhelming when I rewatched it a while back. The theme music is the best thing it has going for it. Sure, Halloween was influential and spawned a lot of imitators, but some of them are actually more entertaining (usually because they're so cheesy). Halloween just seems bland. The Exorcist, though, is still just as potent as it was when I saw it as a teenager. There aren't any other demonic possession movies that I enjoy anyehere near as much. Most other horror flicks in general don't even come close.

Well spin my head in the direction of The Exorcist.

Halloween has aged much better than The Exorcist. I watched The Exorcist lately and it seems pretty dated and not so frightening, but Halloween still is very suspenseful.

I should really revisit The Exorcist but Halloween is my favorite horror movie of all time.

finally my favourite movie of all time (The Exorcist) takes my no.1 top 20 spot, Halloween is excellent though no doubt

I haven't seen either of them for a long time, but can remember the scary scenes from the Exorcist a lot more clearly, so that's the one I'm going to pick

"Halloween" has aged better than "The Exorcist?" Not by a long shot!
Exorcist is simply the better movie. And quite a bit scarier in my opinion...

Halloween has the creepy as hell killer with no backstory origins known while The Exorcist has the creepy as hell Regan. I like the unknown backstory origin side a whole lot better.

The Exorcist scared the hell out of me as a kid, and it still pretty much holds up. Halloween? Pff...

Exorcist, hands down!

They are completely different movies. One is a suspenseful slasher flick made for $300K, the other is a big budget psychological religious thriller. I love them both for different reasons, but since I have to pick I'm going with Halloween because I look forward to watching it every year. The Exorcist isn't as enjoyable to watch for me.

Halloween is far more suspenseful and just far better. The Exorcist tries to be scary but actually isn't....Halloween is a classic and brought one of the most iconic horror characters.
I love Halloween, the last time I watched it though, it seemed to have aged kinda badly. I still love it, probably down to nostalgia, I'll give it another watch anyway. The Exorcist beats it in most areas though, the acting is better, the writing is better, it's the more beautifully shot film in my opinion. I find The Exorcist to be loaded with tension too, I love the scenes where Karras talks to Reagan/Pazuzu, engrossing as fook, man.
