A Right Head Turner

Other

It wasn't just Linda Blair in The Exorcist that could rotate their head

There was someone way before that could do a 180 degree head turn

Martin joe Laurello could do this , and he was not possessed

In fact he became famous with this ability and performed in a circus in the USA between the 1920s and 1930s

At least he could always see if he was being followed, although he never knew if he was coming or going !

Creepy. So was The Exorcist. Talking about The Exorcist they don’t make films like that anymore do they. It’s just rubbish these days with what comes out.

Emerge11 I have mentioned this one elsewhere and to be honest I haven't seem The Exorcist, but there is a new film out starring Russell Crowe and it certainly scared me! It's called the Pope's Exorcist and seemed to be similar to the exorcist from the clips I have seen and heard about!

jms19 I cannot find a syndrome for this J, but i found the closest condition to it

Herniated Cervical Disc, ruptured disc, bulging disc

Mayfield Clinic

A herniated disc occurs when the gel-like center of a spinal disc ruptures through a weak area in the tough outer wall, similar to the filling being squeezed out of a jelly doughnut and leaves you with the ability to bend your head forward and backward, from side to side, and rotate 180 degrees.

kate1310 I saw it in the cinema many years ago K

They had the police and St Johns ambulance on standby at most cinemas showing it because of it being so graphic and controversial, lots of people protesting outside also

There was a bomb hoax and we all had to leave and wait outside for an hour until given the all clear to go back inside

At least three people left the cinema while it was showing that i saw, obviously upset and when the movie finished everyone was buzzing talking about it on the way out

The censors cut some scenes out later so what you see on tv or dvd now is a watered down version

I have never seen a horror movie to match this , what you get today is just blood and gore and copycat movies
