Est. $5,000-$6,500 The Exorcist III (1990) Nicol Williamson Burning Bible Prop Used as "Father Paul Morning" W/LOA - This prop was used by the character "Father Paul Morning" portrayed by Nicol Williamson in the 1990 horror film, The Exorcist III. The exterior of the prop Bible has a faux cover and metal flame resistant interior with an interior coil and tubes that connected to a compressor which conducted the gas to combust into flames. This prop was controlled by a pyrotechnic professional and should not be operated and has not been tested since its use on production. This gag was used by Father Paul Morning in the final exorcism attempt of Father Damien Karra who is possessed by a spirit claiming to be the Gemini killer. The demon Pazuzu, who possessed Regan MacNeil in the original Exorcist, is furious about being pushed out of the child's body. While attempting the exorcism the demon causes the Bible to explode and nearly kills the Father Paul. The prop is in good screen used condition, and will be accompanied by a letter of authenticity from one of Hollywood's premier 4th generation costume and prop houses.
