Resumo: The devil has been, over the centuries, one of the favorite characters of figurative arts, including cinema - that has represented in various ways and in various genres. Their different appearances have been documented and examined in detail, but its sound counterpart has not received the same attention. It is the aim of this essay, therefore, to examine and discuss some of the most influential ways in which the devil has been depicted in movies in sonic terms. We will do this by analyzing the use of voice, music and sound effects in The Exorcist (William Friedkin, 1973). We choose this film due to the massive influence he had on Devil’s representation in horror cinema of the past five decades.

Suas diferentes aparências vêm sendo documentadas e examinadas em detalhes, mas sua contraparte sonora não tem recebido a mesma atenção. É objetivo deste ensaio, portanto, examinar e discutir algumas das mais influentes maneiras como o diabo tem sido representado nos filmes, em termos sonoros. Faremos isso através da análise dos usos da voz, da música e dos efeitos sonoros em O Exorcista (William Friedkin, 1973). A escolha deste filme se deve à influência massiva que ele teve na representação do diabo no cinema de horror das últimas cinco décadas.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2015-09-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/revistafamecos/article/view/2099010.15448/1980-3729.2015.4.20990Revista FAMECOS; Vol. 22 No. 4 (2015); 119-134Revista FAMECOS; Vol. 22 Núm. 4 (2015); 119-134Revista FAMECOS; v. 22 n. 4 (2015); 119-1341980-37291415-054910.15448/1980-3729.2015.4reponame:Revista FAMECOS: Mídia cultura e tecnologiainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/revistafamecos/article/view/20990/13489Copyright (c) 2015 Revista FAMECOSinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarreiro, RodrigoMiranda, Suzana Reck2017-07-09T23:09:17Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/20990Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/revistafamecosPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/revistafamecos/oai||revistafamecos@gmail.com1980-37291980-3729opendoar:2017-07-09T23:09:17Revista FAMECOS: Mídia cultura e tecnologia - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
